One Injured In Highway 97 Three Vehicle Crash

August 9, 2014

There were no serious injuries in a three-vehicle crash Friday night in Davisville.

The accident happened just before 8 p.m. on Highway 97 just south of the Florida/Alabama state line. A van was apparently rear-ended by a pickup truck, before a passing car hit the wreckage.  A juvenile in the van was transported by Escambia County EMS to Atmore Community Hospital with injuries that were not considered serious.

The accident blocked Highway 97 and caused traffic to be diverted through an adjacent shopping center parking lot for about an hour.

The wreck is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the crash.
