One Injured In Crash Near State Line

August 23, 2012

One person was injured in a single vehicle wreck just north of the Alabama-Florida line Thursday afternoon.

The driver of a Ford pickup was trapped in her vehicle about 30 minutes following the crash in Alabama just after 2 p.m. on the Alabama/Florida Highway (CR 8), just north of North Highway 99 in Bratt.

The adult female was transported by ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

She was apparently northbound on when she ran off the road, lost control and overturned into a cotton field. The exact cause of the accident is under investigation by Alabama State Troopers. Further details have not been released.

The Atmore Fire Department, Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff’s Office also responded to the crash.
