NAVARRE - A 46-year-old Gulf Breeze resident was hospitalized Friday night after a traffic accident on U.S. Highway 98 and Coral Street, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
The driver’s name was not immediately released because family members had not been notified.
The driver was traveling west on U.S. 98 in the inside lane about 8:15 p.m. when the 2001 Kia Sephia veered to the left onto the median, according to the FHP. The driver over-corrected, which caused the Kia to overturn and continue across the eastbound lanes before it stopped on the south shoulder.
The driver was taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center with serious injuries.
The driver was wearing a seat belt. Charges and an alcohol test are pending.
