One Injured In Highway 29 Rollover Accident; Driver Cited

August 12, 2015

A Brewton woman was injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident Wednesday morning in McDavid.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 29-year old Charity Andrews Minton was traveling southbound on Highway 29 near Champion Drive about 11:11 a.m. She told troopers that a semi-truck changed lanes into her lane, and she took evasive action. Her 2010 Chevrolet 2500 HD pickup left the paved portion of the roadway and entered the southbound shoulder. She attempted to steer back onto the roadway and lost control, with the pickup truck overturning. The rear of the truck struck at least two trees and overturned into the edge of a wooded area.  The accident was spotted after it occurred by a passing Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy.

Minton was transported by ambulance to the Molino Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and then airlifted by LifeFlight helicopter to Sacred Heart Hospital.

Minton was cited for driving with a suspended license by the FHP

The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The McDavid and Century stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS also responded to the accident.

    It was my truck that Ms Minton was driving that day I think God oh mighty for saving her. The truck was tossed end over end Front bumper to rear bumper six times she sustained nothing broken no cuts no stitches but she was stoved up bad for the next six weeks.

    Sure seems to be a lot of pickup rollovers lately. People expect a truck to handle as well as a car, but with their weight and high center of gravity it doesn’t take much to make them go tumbling out of control.
