Two people received minor injuries in a single vehicle accident Saturday morning in Walnut Hill.

The accident happened on Highway 97 just south of Mason Road about 7:10 a.m. The driver of a southbound pickup truck lost control, ran off the road, struck a culvert, and overturned. The pickup came to rest on its side.

Both the driver and passenger had crawled out of the vehicle before firefighters arrived. They were transported to a Pensacola hospital by Atmore Ambulance.

The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the call.

    Miracles happen every day. Here is one! Driving too fast on Hwy. 97 is the norm, so it isn’t surprising to see another serious wreck on it. Happens all the time. These two were given another chance! I know that speed is not always a factor but with all the traffic, deer, cell phone usage, and other distractions it is imperative that people be alert . Thank God the two people were not seriously injured.
