A visitor to the Gulf County Correctional Institution was injured Sunday morning after walking in front of an ATV driven by a prison guard.
The pedestrian, who was visiting the prison from Jacksonville, was walking towards the visitation/control building at about 7:30 Sunday morning and crossed the perimeter track at an unmarked crossing area.
The correctional officer was patrolling in a Kubota ATV around the perimeter track of the prison compound and failed to stop at a stop sign; colliding with the pedestrian.
The guard vehicle and the pedestrian came to final rest in the unmarked crosswalk area.
The pedestrian was transported to Bay medical center for minor injuries.
