Teen Killed In ATV Crash, 10-Year Old Critically Injured

August 9, 2013

A teenager was killed and a 10-year old was critically injured in an ATV accident near Jay Thursday evening.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 17-year old Cheyenne Taylor Glenn of Jay was southbound on Oil Plant Road, about two miles north of Highway 4 when she failed to negotiate an uphill right curve and lost control of her 1999 Yamaha four-wheeler. The vehicle traveled up an embankment, striking several small trees. The four-wheeler then struck a large limb that had fallen and was just off the ground. The limb broke, causing it to strike Glenn and her passenger, Jadynn Dannelley of Jay.

The impact with the limb forced both occupants off the seat of the four-wheeler. Glenn was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash at 5:23 p.m. Dannelley, 10, was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola where she was listed in critical condition early Friday mornig.

The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

    Sissy, we are holding you in our hearts and lifting you up before the Lord. At times such as this, we have so many questions and there are no answers. Rely on your family and friends, and definitely Christ. If you need anything, just ask. You will continuously be in our prayers. God bless you and your entire family.

    An account has been opened at Santa Rosa County Federal Credit Union for the funeral expenses of Cheyenne Glenn, Sissy Forbes’ daughter. Please stop by & donate if you can. Also, tomorrow morning I was told there would be a car wash in Century at one of the stores close to Whataburger, not sure which one. The family needs help with the burial expenses, as, the funeral home will not bury this child until it is paid. Sad situation. Praying they raise enough and people find in their hearts to give.

    This is Jadynns dad an step mom. She DOES NOT have a fractured neck! She DOES NOT have an infection in her leg either.. she is scheduled to have another surgery tomorrow to finish cleaning out her leg an hopefully close it up. Her leg (tibia) has a fracture, her liver has a small laceration and her lung is bruised. She is doing pretty good at this point so continue to pray. Also please pray for Cheyennes family. RIP sweet girl.

  15. M Harris on August 9th, 2013 2:58 pm

    Dear Lord- Please be with the family and friends of both of these young girls. Growing up around ATVs I know the danger & close calls myself has had. I pray that the family finds peace in their hearts that their little girl is safe with YOU Lord. Such a tragedy this is dear Lord, I can not ask you enough to just put your loving arms around this family as they go about life from now until they are called home as well. In jesus name I pray, AMEN!

    Thoughts and prayers are with Cheyennes friends and family as the have to come to grasp with such a tragic loss. No parent should have to know what its like to bury a child. :-( I was not given the pleasure of knowing Cheyenne but from the outpouring of love it is plain to see that she was an amazing young women. Its really sad to see someone taken so suddenly and at such a young age! Rest In Peace sweet angel! Also prayers going out to sweet Jaydnn for a quick recovery both physically and emotionally as she has to deal with the loss of a friend!

    I’m in tears this early morning reading this and thinking about my beautiful children… my heart aches for the families involved and their friends.

    So tragic and so young, our lord takes the best ones way to early.

    I guess heaven was short on angels (I say this wiping away a down pour of tears).

    May God watch over you all through this and I so pray for the little girl at Sacred Heart, she is in the best possible hands there.

  47. :( on August 9th, 2013 1:27 am

Heavenly Father, I pray that you are with Sissy and the rest of the family and friends. Father, be with the doctors, nurses, and all medical staff that is handling the care of Jadynn Dannelley. I ask that you heal her in a mighty way. Carry both family in your strong arms and wrapped them in your unconditional love. We may not understand why, but I know you will provide the needs of all involved. As the next few days come we all will need You in a mighty way and we give you praise and glory for I know You will come through…Amen {Phil 4:13}
