Four Injured In I-65 Wreck Tuesday Morning Near Atmore
July 28, 2009
Four people were injured when a Jeep collided with an ALDOT vehicle on I-65 near Atmore this morning.
The accident happened just before 9 a.m. on I-65 just north of the Highway 21 exit in Atmore when the driver of a Jeep Liberty rear-ended a utility trailer attached to an Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) vehicle used for litter removal.
Two workers in or near the trailer at the time of the crash were transported to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola by LifeFlight. Markus Prim, 19, of Bay Minette and Sherman McMillan, 17, of Loxley were treated and were released Tuesday afternoon.
The driver of the Jeep, Mirla Sease, and her passenger, Norma Alvarado, were transported by Atmore Ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Both are from of Victoria, Texas.
Further information was not immediately available. The accident is still under investigation by Alabama State Troopers.

They were just parked on the shoulder!
They were working when some person hit them.
Unless they are completely blind they should
not have hit that trailer. No matter how fast a vehicle
is moving they cant say they did not even notice
that a Utility Trailer was parked at the side of the
road. Its not like it was dark out. I blame the driver,
for his ignorance and if he/she really didnt see it coming
then they should be off the road. There is no excuse for
hitting that trailer in plain daylight even at a high speed
its just stupid and dangerous. PAY attention when you
are driving and something like this would have never happened,
doesn’t say that the trailer was moving, just that it got rear ended, maybe it was parked on the shoulder while they unloaded equipment ?
I have seen where they will ride in a slow moving trailer, or truck, and place / pick up road cones. Maybe that is what they where doing ?
just curious as to why DOT employees were riding on that trailer….isn’t that against the law???
you take your life in your hands when you or out on the interstate for any time. people dont slow down for anybody or anything!
