FAIRHOPE, Ala. - The female driver of a sedan involved in a two-vehicle collision east of Fairhope was airlifted to a Foley hospital this morning for non-life threatening injuries, according to the Alabama Department of Public Safety.

The male driver of the other vehicle, a pickup truck, was not taken to the hospital. No other passengers were in either vehicle, and names of the drivers or their residences were not available at time of this post.

The collision occurred at approximately 7:30 a.m., Oct. 20, near the intersection of State Highway 104 and County Road 13, said State Trooper Greg Eubanks.

Eubanks said the sedan was northbound on CR 13 and had apparently turned east onto Highway 104 at the stop sign there.

The pickup truck was traveling eastbound on 104— which has the right of way at the intersection— and collided with the sedan that was already on 104, he said.

“There’s nothing life-threatening in the accident and the lady is going to be fine,” Eubanks said by cell phone Wednesday morning.

The female driver was transported to South Baldwin Medical Center in Foley by a Life Flight helicopter.

“One of our officers, Officer John Morgan, was the first on-scene,” said Sgt. Craig Sawyer, spokesman for the Fairhope Police Department. “He climbed into the car to provide first aid, and as he did so, he suffered a laceration on his right hand from broken glass. He was treated at Thomas Hospital”

Members of the Fairhope Volunteer Fire Department extracted the female driver from the sedan and prepared the landing zone for the helicopter, according to the FPD.

Local residents have complained about the danger posed by the intersection where the collision occurred, Mayor Tim Kant said by phone Wednesday morning. The intersection has the been the site of several accidents since County Road 13 was extended north from Highway 104 and a bridge over Fly Creek completed earlier this year, according to several nearby residents.

A county highway engineer said Wednesday that a traffic light has been approved for the intersection and could be installed as soon as the next few weeks.

Eubanks said no charges were expected to be filed in the case, but that the collision was still under investigation by the ADPS.
