One Injured In McDavid Highway 29 Rollover Crash

October 28, 2017

One person was injured in a single vehicle rollover accident Saturday morning in McDavid.

The accident happened about 8:15 a.m. on Highway 29 at Driver Road. The female driver of a Dodge Stratus lost control while southbound on Highway 29 when she left the roadway, struck a utility pole and large bush before overturning in a resident’s yard.

The adult female driver was transported by Escambia County EMS to Jay Hospital with injuries that were not considered serious.

The official cause of the accident is under investigation, but officials believed a small spare tire on the rear of the vehicle may have contributed.

The McDavid Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the crash.

    Is there a database somewhere for vehicle “accidents” in Escambia County? I am curious to know just how many car accidents occur here every year. Gosh, it really seems like a lot.

    That left rear is a spare tire…That tire is not meant to go fast

    Glad the driver was not badly hurt! Those little spare tires are meant to get you to the garage to get a new one put on, or your flat one fixed. They are not intended for long range travel, or to be used in place of repairing and replacing your tire.

    One time a dead body landed in the yard while we were inside the house.
    This turned out much better.

    David for bush removal — by any means necessary
