One person was injured in a single vehicle rollover accident Sunday morning in Walnut Hill.

The driver of a Chevrolet pickup truck was northbound on Highway when the driver said he fell asleep as he was returning home from a night shift. He ran off the roadway, clipped a sign post, slid across both lanes of Highway 97 and overturned in a field. The truck came to rest upright in the field.
The driver was transported to Atmore Community Hospital by Atmore Ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the crash.

want to sell those rims and tires?
Better a muddy field, than a stand of pine trees.
Wow, that is the cleanest flip I’ve ever seen. It looks like it could be fixed, but these things are subtle. Good luck & best wishes driver!
