June 15, 2010
One person was injured in a two vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon on Highway 97 south of Walnut Hill.
The accident happened about 2 p.m. just north of Tungoil Road. The driver of a Pontiac Grand Prix apparently rear-ended a Ford Expedition that had slowed or stopped for another car that was turning into a driveway.
The driver of the Grand Prix was transported to Atmore Community Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Expedition was not injured.
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.

It’s called “Following Too cLose” !! Folks need to read the Fl drivers liscense test booklet again! Folks riding on each others bumpers, talking on cell phones and then oops…someone stops ahead of ya…and ouch!
Rain had nothing to do with this wreck. I passed by as the people were getting her out of the car. It started to rain just after the crash.
ACTUALLY, the car in front of her slammed on brakes and she had to too. You know how it is when you slam on brakes when its rainin, you slide. THAT is what happened. While michelle is tryin to get an attitude and everything.
For crying out loud. SLOW DOWN You dummy!! The Speed Limit is 55.
Another one to put on the long list of accidents on hwy. 97 I turn on Tung Oil Rd. to go to my house and every time I just pray I will not get rear ended. Speed and cell phones plus wet roads does not make I feel very secure on this road. Just wait until they are finished with the paving.
I have seen the exact thing happen in the exact same place when the road was wet. Dude didn’t see the cars slowed and slammed on the brakes…his tires started sliding and it looked like he actually sped up before he piled in the back of the slow/stopped car ahead of him.
