No Injuries When Atmore Police Unit Overturns
February 29, 2024
An Atmore Police Department officer was not injured when his patrol vehicle overturned onto its side Wednesday afternoon.
The officer was responding to an unrelated traffic crash with injuries between a railroad crossing and East Ridgely Street.
“The officer was attempting to position his patrol car behind the vehicles involved in the traffic crash,” Sgt. Darrell McMann said. “The officer was unsuccessful in that endeavor and inadvertently left the roadway.”
When the patrol vehicle left the roadway, the tires slowly slid into a ditch, causing the vehicle to overturn onto the passenger side.
The drivers involved in the original traffic crash were not seriously injured, and offered assistance to the officer to exit his patrol unit.

A dump truck load of aggerate from the County Barn will correct that hazard.
A very embarrassing Barney fife moment.
Glad all are OK
It happens.. All that stuff in the cop car makes it hard to see to the right side.
I stopped on side of road once and my truck slid right in a ditch that was just out of my sight. Lucky it stayed upright.
Sucks for the police dept as that looked like a new ride.. It will buf out roll it over and get back to work
Slip-sliding away! Thank God that there were so serious injuries.
Glad he’s okay; but, he gets a new nickname he may, or may not, like.
Did they ask him to show them his driver’s license and vehicle registration?
