    It’s a Nissan Altima.

    Regardless, I’m glad she is okay.

    This happen before you get to Davisville Community Center on the right just pass the turn off to go go Bratt going to Atmore. The ditch goes down once you leave the payment.

    Propped up like that, I’m surprised someone didn’t come by and steal the catalytic convertor off of it before the fire department go there.

    I hate hwy 97 I got to where I go around it like down pine barren or 164…I dont know what can be done but something needs to be done about that road…its like every week or day something happens on that evil road…slow down and keep eye on the road people it may not be u but watch the other drivers too….I pray for everyone who chooses to drive on 97

    Looks front wheel drive to me (no driveshaft), so shouldn’t be a charger. Maybe a Dart or something??

    WOW! By the looks of the alternator, my guess is a dodge charger?

    Yes and I’m pretty sure they was on River Annex Road also before this

    This is going to make me slow down when I think I can handle the way I drive. I thank God for these photos. Thankful she is getting a second chance too.

    High speed and driving like crazy on 97 pretty standard. Glad the driver is OK but she should lose her license because she almost lost her life.

    Straight miracle! I’m glad you are ok. 3 yrs ago I rolled my vehicle. No broken bones but they found a tumor the size of a grapefruit after xraying my entire body. If not for the wreck I would have probably lost my leg

    Just Looking at the Vehicle,She’s very lucky

    WOW… that looks like a miracle. God blessed her with another chance.
