Two Injured In Highway 97 Single Vehicle Crash

June 13, 2014

Two people were injured in a single vehicle accident on Highway 97 south of Walnut Hill Friday morning.

The driver of  Chevrolet Colorado pickup was northbound on Highway 97 north of Tungoil Road when his pickup apparently ran off the road into a ditch, struck a culvert, went airborne,  overturned, and came to rest upright in the ditch.

The driver and passenger, both adult males, were transported by Atmore Ambulance to West Florida Hospital in Pensacola. Their conditions were not available.

The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol; further details have not been released. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the crash.

    Same thing happened in our driveway too awhile back, hitting the culvert and flipping a couple of times. Driver and passenger fled the scene leaving the car behind. A couple of weeks later, I’m standing in the driveway waiting on cars to pass so I can cross the road to check the mailbox, when a car is heading out of their lane and right towards me in my driveway. It happened so fast, I barely had time to think and move back. Luckily for me, they looked up from their cell phone and corrected and got back in their lane.

    People….keep your eyes on the road, not your cell phone or whatever it is that is distracting you!
