FHP Seeks Highway 97 Hit And Run Driver

March 8, 2016

The Florida Highway Patrol is looking for a driver involved in a hit and run crash that occurred sometime early Monday morning on Highway 97 just south of the Alabama state line.

Troopers said someone driving a 2007-2009 white Lincoln MKZ was traveling southbound on Highway 97 at Greenland Road. The vehicle left the roadway onto the east shoulder of Highway 97 and struck a fence. The vehicle continued southeast and struck small trees and a fence in the 7200 block of Greenland Road. The vehicle then traveled back through the fence where it entered the property and fled the scene.

Parts from the vehicle were collected at the scene and submitted as evidence Troopers said the time of the crash was not known.

Anyone with information about the vehicle, driver or accident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or Trooper Tucker at (850) 484-5000 ext. 330.

    Run which database? Everything is in a database, i.e. DHS.

    I am sure that there are far bigger fish awaiting that computer time, rather than a person who ran through a stock fence.

    @429SCJ:

    Run which database? Do You look for cars registered here in Escambia Co (FL) alone? Maybe Santa Rosa County? The lower half of AL? And even when they find the vehicle, how does one prove who was driving?

    Run the database for white, 2007-2009 Lincoln MKZs.

    There is one missing sheet metal and components, enough that a positive ID was made of the make, series year and model.
