There were no serious injuries in a Monday morning wreck when a woman struck a tree.

The accident happened about on Bratt Road just west of Camp Road about 10:15 a.m. An 84-year old woman was transported by ambulance to Jay Hospital with injuries that were not considered severe.

The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The McDavid Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS also responded to the wreck.

    @grand daughter

    Sorry to see this on here. I sure hope your grand mother gets better and comes
    home soon. I don’t usually advocate that you just take the keys of all the elderly
    but after this you might want to hang up her keys. I just hope she gets well enough
    and feisty enough to fight you about it. LOL

    I agree completely with smartowlick that we need more traffic lights by the trees, they would probably eliminate at least a handfull of accidents a year. Ignore the cost, we are talking human lives here.

    Since at least when I was a teenager (a long time ago), the definition of a tree was an object that stayed in one spot for up to 50 years before deciding to suddenly jump out in front of a driver. Since many tend to think that more traffic control devices equal fewer wrecks, I’m all for traffic lighting those trees.

    She is doing ok. Spending the night in the hospital for observation, but she is all patched up. We are all very happy she is ok and awaiting test result to see if she has any medical problem that may have caused the wreck

    Thank goodness for airbags, I wish a swift recovery from any injuries, 84-year old woman.
