Troopers Seek Info In Pedestrian Hit And Run

July 13, 2014

The Florida Highway Patrol is asking for the public’s help in locating a vehicle that fled the scene after hitting a pedestrian Friday night in Escambia County.

About 9:30 p.m., 59-year old Roy Reasoonover of Pensacola was attempting to cross Mobile Highway south of Edison Drive when he was hit by an unknown vehicle in a northbound right turn lane. He was dragged under the vehicle for about 20 feet before the vehicle fled the scene, leaving him in the roadway.

Investigators believe the vehicle may be a sport utility vehicle of some type and may have traveled east on Edison Drive. The vehicle, according to the FHP, should have front end damage consistent with a pedestrian collision.

Anyone with information should contact Trooper Register at (850) 484-5000 ext. 329 or Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

Reasoonover was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital where he was listed in critical condition.
