The truck was fully involved when the first fire fighters arrived on scene.

The driver was transported by Escambia County EMS to an area hospital in serious condition.

The Flomaton Fire Department, Escambia (FL) Fire Rescue, Flomaton Police Department and Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene.
