Driver Slams Into Utility Pole, Slides Into Northview High Holding Pond Fence

June 1, 2012

A driver escaped serious injury Thursday evening after slamming into a utility pole and nearly sliding into a holding pond at Northview High School.

The accident happened on West Highway 4 at the school about 6:45 p.m.  First responders where leaving the school after a completing a  medical call when a firefighter noticed a tire flying through the air. That prompted first responders to look for and find the accident.

The female driver was westbound on Highway 4 when she apparently lost control of her pickup, slammed into a utility pole and rotated multiple times as the truck slid down a steep embankment. The truck came to rest against a fence surrounding a holding pond at Northview High School.

The woman was not seriously injured and refused  transport to the hospital.

The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol; further details have not been released. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and Atmore Ambulance also responded to the crash.
