Two Injured In Truck Versus Tree Crash
October 10, 2013
Two people were injured in a truck versus tree crash late Wednesday night near Bratt.
The driver of a Chevrolet pickup was westbound on Highway 4 at Canoe Creek just after 11 p.m. when he apparently left the roadway just off a bridge at a high rate of speed and ran into a wooded area. The truck overturned, with the pickup bed striking an oak tree. The truck continued a short distance before the tree fell onto the cab of the truck.
Both 21-year old male occupants of the vehicle were able to crawl out of the wreckage. They were transported by ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol; further details including names have not yet been released.
The Walnut Hill and Century stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, the Atmore Fire Department and Atmore Ambulance also responded to the crash.

My ex husband was killed in November of last year in this area and it is such a bad place….I’m so glad that these guys were ok…
I am very grateful that these two young men survived this accident and were not seriously injured on top of that. Had they been in a small car or truck, this same accident might not have had the same outcome. Thankful for them and their families as I read this!
People, please slow down when driving between the Byrneville and Bratt, Canoe Creek bridges as that area has claimed many of lives over the years, it’s a dangerous section of Hwy.4. We live right up the hill from those bridges and have seen first hand what speeding and/or drinking and driving does to people’s lives when they crash there and it’s not pretty! :/
