One Injured In Minor Hwy 97, Hwy 29 Accident

May 3, 2013

One person was injured in a minor accident Thursday afternoon at the intersection of Highway 97 and Highway 29 in Molino.

The driver of a Nissan Maxima was stopped at a stop sign on Highway 97 when she was lightly bumped from the rear by the driver of a Toyota Hybrid, witnesses said. Both vehicles were moved to the nearby Tom Thumb parking lot.

The driver of the Maxima was transported by Escambia County EMS after complaining of injuries in the low-speed crash. Her condition was not available.

The only obvious damage to either vehicle was small scuff mark on the bumper of the Maxima. The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Further details were not available.

    >>I think for privacy reasons you should have blocked out the license plate number from the photo

    The name, age and address of the driver and the vehicle owner (if a different person) are all public record.

    sounds to me like a insurance deal, I Mean come on how could the person in the maxima be hurt at all. They should be ashamed of there self.

    I think for privacy reasons you should have blocked out the license plate number from the photo of the Maxima before publishing it. Just a suggestion. Have a good day!

    I would not have even called the police for this. Are you kidding me? Looking for something for nothing then complain when insurance rates go up.

    I think the term we are looking for here is “Insurance Pains”.

    i had someone pull out in front of me on 29 about a year ago and i hit them running about 60 and didnt get any injuries. so yeah from the looks of this car, this eas just a little love tap and no reason for injuries.

    The hospital is gonna be the one to say whether she needs further treatment and by the looks of her maxima I’d say she’s gonna be just fine. She may be dealing with pain but it isn’t from that accident. I’d feel blessed that there’s barely a scratch. I’ve had my bumper in my backseat from getting rear ended. She needed medical attention? Please

    Sounds like someone’s looking to get paid. Ambulance chasers, on your mark, get set, GO!!!!
