VW Beetle Being Towed Overturns; Occupants Not Injured

August 29, 2010

Two occupants in a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle that was being towed were not injured when a wheel broke off the vehicle and it overturned Sunday afternoon.

The accident happened on West Highway 4 near Sandy Hollow Road about 2:30 p.m. Both occupants refused medical treatment. Neither person was wearing a seat belt — there are no seat belts in a 1967 Beetle.

The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue, Atmore Ambulance and the Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash.

    Check your facts, seatbelts were in fact installed in a 67 beetle. Of course that does not mean that this one still had them 43 years later, but I know that mine had factory seatbelts as well as other bugs I have seen.
