Teen Airlifted After Nokomis Rollover Crash

October 9, 2016

A  Northview High School student was airlifted to a Pensacola hospital after a single vehicle crash in Nokomis Saturday afternoon.

The 17-year old female  lost control of her vehicle on Albritton Road, just north of Nokomis Road. The vehicle overturned, coming to rest upright. She was briefly trapped in the vehicle, with firefighters forced to use the Jaws of Life to free her.

She was transported by Atmore Ambulance to the Walnut Hill Fire Station and then airlifted as a “trauma alert” by LifeFlight helicopter to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. An update on her condition was not available.

The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
