Driver Trapped In Highway 97 Rollover, Power Cut To Molino
April 21, 2016
One person was injured in a single vehicle rollover crash on Highway 97 in Walnut Hill Thursday afternoon.
The driver of a pickup truck lost control for an unknown reason on Highway 97 north of Gibson Road, ran off the roadway, clipped a power pole and rolled the vehicle upside down into several trees. The driver was partially ejected from the pickup and trapped. Firefighters were forced to use the Jaws of Life to free the man from the overturned truck. He was transported by ambulance to a Pensacola hospital in unknown condition.
Gulf Power cut power to a large area of Molino temporarily so firefighters could safely rescue the man from the pickup.
The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Further details have not been released.

This Gentleman is my Nephew and I am Happy to report he was treated and released, he is one very lucky fellow he is expected to recover.thanks for your Prayers and kind thoughts……
I live at this accident location. It is dangerous to pull out on to H97 from our driveway. During the last accident investigate, a car came through the accident site clocked by HP AT 83MPH with two sets of emergency flashers active–both sides of road. Excessive speed on these type roads kill. Sorry MISTER, 55/60 would have prevented the pain and agony.
I’m praying this gentleman will be ok.
To many great people taken by auto accidents lately. Let’s PRAY that this family want have to go through the pain of losing a loved one from a auto accident. Like some of us have!!!
