An Atmore driver is behind bars of hitting and critically injuring a four-year old child late Friday afternoon.
Atmore Police responded to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on Third Avenue near the intersection of Church Street. Officers arrived to find an unresponsive four-year year old female down on the street next to the curb. EMT’s with Atmore Ambulance were able to resuscitate the child.
The child was transported by Atmore Ambulance to the Walnut Hill Fire Station and then airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. There was no update available on the child’s condition.
The driver of the vehicle, 43-year old Shannon Black of Atmore, was administered field sobriety tests and was arrested for driving under the influence at the scene after officers were able to determine that she was impaired, according to Atmore Police. She was also driving on a suspended license. Police said Black will also be charged with assault second degree. Further charges may be pending upon completion of the investigation.

Woman Seriously Injured After Driver Runs Stop Sign
September 4, 2015
One person was injured in a two vehicle crash Thursday night in Cantonment after a driver reportedly ran a stop sign.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 67-year old Billy Cox of Pensacola was traveling north on County Road 97 in a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe when he ran a stop sign at Muscogee Road and collided with a 2008 Nissan Altima driven by 59-year old Melinda Fredrickson of Pensacola.
The right side of Fredrickson’s vehicle struck three road signs and a mailbox before coming to rest in a ditch. Firefighters were forced to use the Jaws of Life to free her from the vehicle. Fredrickson was transported by ambulance to West Florida Hospital with serious injuries.
Cox was charged with running a stop sign after troopers said multiple witnesses reported Cox ran the stop sign at a speed of “around 40 miles per hour”.
