One Injured In Highway 97 Rollover Crash
May 26, 2010
One person was injured in a single vehicle rollover accident this morning on Highway 97.
The accident happened about 10:05 a.m. just north of Tungoil Road. The driver of an older model Ford Crown Victoria apparently lost control while northbound on Highway 97, slid across both lanes and overturned in a field. The vehicle came to rest on the driver’s side.
The driver was able to get out of the vehicle before the first emergency personnel arrived on scene. She was transported to Atmore Community Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.d
The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue, Atmore Ambulance and the Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash.
The accident is still under investigation by the FHP. Further details were not available.

Oh my, I surely hope this person is ok… yes I agree with people speeding like a bat out of haidi’s, but it’s not only on just 97… I would much rather leaving earlier driving at the right speed limit and get to where I am going (alive) than to have to speed and worry about not getting their (alive) people please take more caution to your driving, remember you’re not the only one on the roads…
Looks like a bumper crop in this field!
One more down. Glad the woman is ok. Yes, the road is bad but people going too fast for road conditions is one of the big problems. The speed limit is mostly 55 but I defy you to find someone going that speed for very long. Please slow down and live to travel the new road when it’s finished. Then we will really see speeders. Where is the law?
Hey they may have worked all night and should have been in the bed!!!!!! FOR the ones that don’t like for people to drive at night well I don’t like for everyone to drive at day time to much going on in the day time!!!!LOL
Michelle, some people may think it’s because the moon is getting full. Watch out for those werewolves chasing those deer. But seriously only the driver knows for sure and sometimes they don’t even know.
There is one major problem with Hwy 97, it’s the loose nuts between the steering wheels and seats.
WENDY…….yes there is something wrong with hwy 97…the drivers…
MICHELLE…..I am looking out for the rollin over cars now instead of the deer..seems like the cars are more dangerous
Could be an ol Indian burial grounds around there somewhere…I would say that they should have been home in bed but I got in trouble for that last night…cant say it today…or anymore…were they going to work or returning
I dropped my daughter off at EW the other morning and headed to Pensacola. I now know what is going on with Hwy 97. I was going 60-65 and that was not fast enough for the rest of the drivers headed south. I even had one pass me in the school zone at Molino and blow her horn at me.
Wendy they are fixing the road this could be the problem along with carless driving.
This is amazing what are people up to.
There must be something wrong with Hwy 97. They need to fix that road.
Why are there so many crashes this week. This has been what 4 so far.
Take your time and slow down, plus look out for those deer!!
