Woman Hits Two Sheriff’s Vehicles
July 5, 2008
Two Escambia County Sheriff’s Department cruisers were hit Friday afternoon by a woman troopers say was suffering from a medical condition.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Donna M. Smith, 57, of Pace was stopped by deputies Marc C. Dewees, 41, and Kevin L. Vickery, 44, after she was observed driving erratically on Nine Mile Road. The deputies stopped her at Nine Mile Road and Tower Ridge Road. She then accelerated forward, stricking the two marked cruisers.
Dewees suffered minor injuries in the crash and was treated and released at Baptist Hospital. Vickery was not injured.
The FHP says Smith’s behavior was caused by a medical issue related to diabetes. Charges are pending, according to the FHP report.
Dewees crusier incurred about $5,000 in damage, while Vickery’s cruiser suffered about $500 in damage.
