Two Injured When Vehicle Flips Into Power Pole
May 23, 2010
Two people were injured in a single vehicle accident early Sunday morning in Davisville.
The Florida Highway Patrol says T.J. Matthew Jarrell, 19, of Atmore lost control of his 1988 Chevrolet Blazer on Nokomis Road about a mile from Highway 97 at about 3:45 a.m. and hit the grassy shoulder.
Jarrell over corrected, veered onto the grassy shoulder again and into a culvert. Upon colliding with the culvert, the vehicle overturned several times and into a power pole. The pole was broken about 12 feet off the ground. The Chevy Blazer came to rest upside down about 20 feet away.
Jarrell and passenger, Steven R. Slack, 18, of Atmore, were transported by private vehicle to Atmore Community Hospital before emergency personnel arrived. They were treated and released.
According to troopers, charges are pending the result of a blood analysis.
The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue, Atmore Ambulance and the Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash.
Several hundred Escambia River Electric Cooperative customers lost power for about hour later in the morning while the power company worked to replace the broken pole.

well said BamaBreeze, doesnt really matter who’s children or kin they are, we need to pray for them. I had a nephew that wrecked early one morn last year, its a miracle he lived, and yes he was doing all the things he shouldnt have been doing, but I still love him and pray for him to live for the Lord.. I pray everytime he thinks about drinking and driving he will remember that morning.. our youth is our future, what warriors for Christ we would be if all the comments on here were prayers, I bet we could pluck some from the fire. don’t you?
> name a work place that stays open past 12 in Davisville, Atmore, or Anywhere within a 20 mile radius
Atmore Community Hospital. Atmore Police Department. Atmore fire department. Wind Creek Casino. A few gas stations in Atmore. Tom Thumb in Molino. Atmore ambulance. Atmore nursing home. Assisted living place on Medical Park.. Grey Goose. Other bars. Century Care Center. Escambia County EMS. Flomaton Police Department. Bay Minette police and fire. Walmart in Bay Minette (exactly 20 miles).
Northescambia.com must have been open. There’s the picture.
I’m sure there are more.
And what about the hundreds of people around Walnut Hill or Atmore that work at night in Pensacola. If you get off at 11, stop for something and store — you will be after midnight getting home.
‘a dude’ stated,”Second name a work place that stays open past 12 in Davisville, Atmore, or Anywhere within a 20 mile radius. Third God was with them, but that doesnt mean they werent under the influence of drugs or alcohol!”
Doesn’t mean they necessarily work in that area, and regardless if they were working at all, last time I checked, 18yrs old was considered to be an adult…therefore, these adults can come and go as they please, when they please. You know, it may be SO hard for some of you to believe, but accidents happen! Yes, that’s right…sometimes accidents do happen!
First of all,one of these children,TJ, is my son and the other child has been around my family for many years,so he like part of my family.
While it seems that most of these comments are judgemental & degrading,I do sincerly appreciate the many blessings that I have recieved in some of these comments.These “kids should have been at home,yes,but,they weren’t.But what gives anyone on this entire planet to judge another.No one in this world is perfect,if we were we wouldn’t be here living this everday test we all call life.
I recently lost my Dad to cancer (3/4/10) and I wil always remember something he told me,”If you make a mistake but learn something from it then you didn’t make a mistake,you passed a test & learned somthing.
All of our children are the future of our lives & world.We need to save them now before it’s too late.It’s easier to build strong children,than to repair broken men.
First, its not a truck its a SUV. Second name a work place that stays open past 12 in Davisville, Atmore, or Anywhere within a 20 mile radius. Third God was with them, but that doesnt mean they werent under the influence of drugs or alcohol!
First, old trucks and cars are better than the new lighter vehicles. Second, they might have been at work dont judge what if this was your kids someone was running their mouths about? Third, God was definately watching these guys because that truck was trashed.
Oh my goodness! Another one of those big old trucks has crashed. I just feel so sorry for anyone who as to drive or ride in one of them. It’s a blessing these people are OK.
“According to troopers, charges are pending the result of a blood analysis.”
Duh.
These two are very blessed to be alive…and should be darn thankful that they didnt kill innocent people in the process of driving carelessly. This is a very dark road…speeding, driving recklessly,racing, the possibility of alcohol…Im sounding more like my mom every day when I say that noone has any business out at that hour (unless its thier job). Nothing but trouble.
I doubt that an 18 and a19 year old were coming home from work. at that hour. Probably speed and alcohol played a big part in the wreck. From the picture of the truck I’d say the Lord was watching out for these two very lucky guys. Glad they are ok.
I saw this car on the tow truck that was removing it —- the two fellows are lucky to be alive. You can bet that they are moving VERY slow today. They are lucky to have just received injuries and not having their families making plans for a funeral.
By the looks of this vehicle, these people were very lucky to still be alive. I do hope they are ok…
You amaze me ‘been there” not everybody has day job, I guess when they got to the hospital no one was there because everyone was asleep huh. So quick to judge without the facts. Thinking before speaking makes sense. Sure hope it wasn’t some of your family. I hope eveyone is ok no matter the circumstances.
God bless em.
I like to travel early in the morning, less traffic. My wife and I most always get an early start when on vacation. Who know why they were out at that time. They may have had a very good reason.
They should have been at home and in bed…bet they are in the bed this AM…makes sense to me…does it to you ?
