Five, Including Two Children, Injured In Sunday Highway 97 Wreck
June 22, 2008
Five people were injured, including two young children, in a two vehicle wreck just before 10:00 Sunday morning in Davisville.
The two children and two adults were in a small pickup truck that collided with another small pickup in front of the Family Dollar on Highway 97, just south of the Alabama state line. The second pickup overturned on its side. One person was trapped in that truck for about 15 minutes while firemen used the Jaws of Life to free her.
None of the injuries were believed to be life threatening, according to emergency personnel on the scene.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. They have not yet released the names of those involved, but they were believed to have been from the Walnut Hill area.
The Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department, the Atmore Fire Department, Atmore Ambulance, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department, the Atmore Police Department and the FHP all responded to the crash.
