Four people were injured in a two-vehicle wreck near Flomaton Wednesday evening.

The accident happened in a curve on Highway 31 near Pipeline Road, not far from Bondurant Lumber, about 6:10 p.m. Two people, a 39-year old female and an adult male, were airlifted by LifeFlight to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola as “trauma alerts”. Two other people were transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart with non-life threatening injuries.

All four people were trapped in their vehicles, with firefighters forced to use the Jaws of Life to extricate them.

The accident remains under investigation by the Alabama State Troopers. Further details have not been released.

    God Bless all those involved and their families. There have been so many serious accidents at that curve….is there a way to get a flashing yellow caution light put up? People just don’t realize how sharp that curve is, and/or how fast your going down the hill. Add rain to it and this is what can happen.

    School will be starting soon…let’s all slow down, look twice, and enjoy the journey….
