No Injuries When Driver Snaps Power Pole On Pilgrim Trail
October 16, 2012
There were no injuries when a driver hit and snapped a power pole this morning in Molino.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 31-year old Christy Anne Thomas of Molino lost control of her 2007 Pontiac G6 on Pilgrim Trail just west of Highway 29, left the roadway and struck the pole about 6 a.m. She received minor injuries but refused transport to the hospital.
Thomas was cited for careless driving, according to the FHP.
The power lines remained energized on the ground; residents of Pilgrim Trail lost electricity for over two hours as Gulf Power cut electricity to make repairs.
The Molino Station of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash.
