FHP Still Seeking Highway 97 Hit And Run Driver, Reward Offered

April 24, 2015

The Florida Highway Patrol is still seeking a hit and run driver after a crash last week on Highway 97 near Dogwood Park, and a reward is now available.

According to the FHP, 56-year old Patricia M. Bruner of Bruck, FL, was southbound in a 2012 Land Rover on Highway 97 approaching White Ash Road when she was rear-ended by a purple or maroon 2002-2005 model Dodge Ram traveling at a high rate of a speed. The pickup continued south following the 3:15 p.m. crash on April 15.

The force of the impact caused the Land Rover to leave the roadway and come to rest in a field. Burner and her passenger, 83-year old Thelma J. Bullard of Defuniak Springs, were transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injuries.

The pickup truck will have  front end damage,  according to the FHP.  Anyone with information on the truck is asked to email joshuatucker@flhsmv.gov or dial *FHP from their cell phone. A reward is also available and callers can remain anonymous by calling CrimeStoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    >>>What’s the purpose of the black and white photo?

    That’s the way the photo was submitted to us. I suppose the person who took them didn’t realize the had their camera set to B&W for the shot.

    Someone knows who this driver is… you can’t show up with a damaged front end of the dodge ram without being asked questions. I hope they do the right thing and turn the dangerous driver in to the local law enforcement. The next time, someone may be killed. Although, I suspect by now, it has had a new paint job and repairs; paid out of the owners pocket, I’m sure.
