Three Injured In Highway 97 Rollover Crash

March 3, 2014

Three people were injured in a single vehicle rollover accident Sunday  north of Molino.

The driver of a passenger car apparently lost control, ran off the roadway and overturned in the 2300 block of Highway 97, just north of Gibson Road. The driver was airlifted by LifeFlight to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.

Two passengers were transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital, while a third passenger refused treatment at the scene.

The names of those involved and further details have not been released by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Molino, Walnut Hill and McDavid  stations of Escambia County Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the crash.

    I was right behind them when it happened. It was terrifying. I saw her tire blow then she lost control and then started to flip. I pulled over and called 911. I wrapped her little girl in my arms and told her that the jaws of life was just like a can opener and it would not hurt her mom. I talked to her son. Then to her. Told her what had happened because she wanted to know. There were caring people there holding towels to her head and the other boys head till ems got there. I have worried about them and especially her. Teri I wish there wad a way you could keep me posted on how she is.

    Thank you first responders. You helped save my neice her children and a family friend. She was the driver and took the hardest hit. Her children were able to walk away from it without a scratch. The family friend had injuries but was treated and relased. Surgery was not an option. We have a long road to recovery. Please keep them in your prayers.
