FHP: Jay Man Driving The Only Vehicle To Strike, Kill Pedestrian
July 26, 2016
A Jay man was the driver of the only vehicle that struck a pedestrian in a fatal crash early Sunday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol said Monday.
Tyler Watson Shook, 18, was westbound on Willard Norris Road near Emerald Forest Road when he struck a pedestrian identified as 36-year old Rodney Ross Cropper II of Jay. Cropper was pronounced deceased on the scene.
On Sunday, the FHP originally issued a media release in which they said Shook was driving the second vehicle to strike Cropper. However, on Monday the FHP said that after a forensic review, it was determined that Shook’s Ford Bronco was the only vehicle to hit Cropper.
Any charges against Shook are pending the outcome of a Florida Highway Patrol investigation.

This is so sad all the way around….for Mr. Cropper and for this kid Mr. Shook and their families. My Heart breaks for you and will be praying for you all. One man has lot his life I pray in the end of all this that this kid don’t lose his. I can’t image what he is dealing with already at 18 that another person has died and he is involved with it. Buddy I don’t know you but hope things work out for you. If I could erase all this and have Me Cropper alive for you and his family I would. I have a 18 year old and I couldn’t image if this happen to him. Praying for you all….put it in God’s hands!!!
