Alleged Hit And Run Driver Found Three Miles Away From Crash Scene
March 4, 2018
Authorities caught up with an alleged hit and run driver with her vehicle’s engine on the ground three miles from an injury crash Saturday in Davisville. The incident landed the driver in jail.
According to witnesses, a driver was waiting to make a turn from Highway 97 onto Meadows Lane south of the Piggly Wiggly store, when she was rear-ended by a black Kia Soul driven by 53-year old Cheryl Rene Parrish of McDavid about 4:20 p.m. Witnesses further stated that Parrish and the Kia Soul then struck a Nissan car before running several other drivers off the road and continuing south on Highway 97.
An Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy located the disabled Kia, with Parrish reportedly still behind the wheel, three miles away on Highway 4 just west of Still Road. The force of the collision had broken the motor mounts on the Kia, and the engine was resting on the ground. The front and side curtain air bags in the vehicle had deployed at the time of the crash.
Multiple parts apparently from the Kia were located along the three mile route between the crash site and the final resting place of the Kia.
The driver of the vehicle that was rear-ended refused medical treatment at the scene but later reported going to the hospital. The the driver of the Nissan car was transported by Escambia County EMS to an area hospital.
Parrish was transported by Escambia County EMS to Atmore Community Hospital for evaluation. She was booked into the Escambia County Jail early Sunday morning with one hit and run involving injury charge and two additional counts of misdemeanor hit and run. She was released on a $2,000 bond late Sunday morning from the Escambia County Jail.
Further details on the crash have not yet been released by the Florida Highway Patrol as they continued their investigation.

If she is such a good person, why didn’t she stick around and take responsibility for what she did? IF she is insured, then she should have stuck around to make it right for those who she injured and damaged. If not, she should still have stuck around to make sure no one was injured and to get help if they were. Karma. Since she “hit and ran”, she now has a whole score of other charges added to simply hitting someone – that was the only unintentional mistake in this situation. The running part was a pure choice on her part – and she’s paying for it now. People making comments about it is part of the price. If she’s smart, she’ll teach her children not to do what she did.
It didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to follow that trail.
The driver of the Toyota went to the hospital and had whiplash and is very sore. S
@Tuiti
What? So the car drove itself three miles from scene of accident? How does one drive away from an accident accidently?
Only $2,000 bond?! Leaving the scene of an accident with injuries is a felony!
TUITI, so driving 3 miles after leaving the scene of the accident was not done on purpose? Being a good person does not excuse bad behavior. I pray all involved have no lasting effects and thank the lord for no fatalities.
William, you are correct. I failed to comprehend, & more carefully read, the fact there were three vehicles involved, & not just two. Two being a similar color threw me off. Thank you for your correction.
no need in ugly comments about Sheryl. mistakes do happen! it was not like it was done on purpose! anyone who knows her knows that shes a good person and has a heart of gold, so please keep your negativity to yourself please.. she does have kids and im sure they dont need to see the negativy! thnks
“Final resting place of the Kia” Almost sounds funny because that poor car surely died a slow, painful death. $2k bond? Wow, it should be much more for a hit and run of that magnitude. Prayers for the innocent drivers affected by this “alleged” driver of the Kia.
>>“The driver of the vehicle that was rear-ended refused medical treatment at the scene, while the driver of the Nissan car was transported by Escambia County EMS to an area hospital.” Conflicting sentence here. It WAS the Nissan that WAS rear ended–the same driver. It says refused treatment, then says transported to hospital???
It is not a conflicting sentence.
The driver of the vehicle that was rear-ended — the person driving the one smashed in the rear, don’t know make and model
the driver of the Nissan car — the driver of the Nissan, which was decribed as being hit second and depicted in the bottom photo

Yeah Gary
More careless driving leads to another wreck on 97.
Only a $2000 bond? Wow, tough on crime, huh?
Three miles in that condition? Wow. Tough little bugger. I know what I’m taking to the next demolition derby.
