Driver Hits Utility Pole On Alabama-Florida State Line

March 12, 2019

A driver escaped injury Monday afternoon when he struck a utility pole and a tree on the Alabama-Florida state line.

The man failed to negotiate a 90-degree curve on Old Bratt Road just outside Atmore shortly before 4 p.m.  The road runs along the state line, but the pole struck by his pickup truck is in Alabama.

Alabama State Troopers are investigating.

The Atmore Fire Department also responded.

    “Failed to negotiate a 90-degree curve”

    Nope…that’s not a curve. That’s actually a two-way stop. And this is an example of why the stop sign, that everyone ignores, is there in the first place.

    Very glad the driver was ok!
