Woman Injured In Highway 97 Construction Zone Wreck
August 20, 2018
A female driver was injured in single vehicle crash Monday afternoon in a Highway 97 construction zone.
The woman hit a crash cushion on Highway 97 over Sandy Hollow Creek, just south of Highway 4 about 2:25 p.m. The cushion performed as designed, absorbing much of the crash energy and stopping the vehicle before it his a concrete barrier.
The woman was transported to an area hospital by Escambia County EMS.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded.
Highway 97 is detoured onto a temporary bridge as crews work to replace a 78-year-old bridge.
Editor’s note: The vehicle came to rest across both lanes of Highway 97 after the accident and was moved prior to these photographs.

@Bobbie – I hope your mom will be okay.
She was not speeding. This was my mother. She hit a water spot and lost control.
This area is already dangerous enough, people slow it down.
