Driver Slams Into Guardrail, Tree In Walnut Hill Crash
December 12, 2015
There was no word of any injuries in an early Saturday morning wreck outside Walnut Hill.
The driver of Ford Explorer lost control on Arthur Brown Road west of Pine Forest Road and struck a guardrail. After destroying several feet of guardrail, the vehicle overturned down an embankment and struck a tree.
The accident was discovered and reported about 6:30 a.m., but occurred an unknown amount of time earlier in the morning. The driver was reportedly not seriously injured and picked up from the accident site by a private party prior to the arrival of first responders.
The wreck is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol; further details have not been released.

>>Highway 97 is a racetrack
I won’t disagree. But this wreck was not on Hwy 97
Highway 97 is a racetrack. Everyday I see speeders and people passing on yellow lines. I never see law enforcement. This is the 2nd wreck recently that was not found for several hours.
Wow! Unbelievable that driver walked away with minor injuries.
