ESCO: Woman Crashes On Nine Mile While Fleeing From Deputies
April 7, 2018
A woman that was fleeing from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was seriously injured when she crashed her car into a deep ditch Friday afternoon.
The ECSO said a woman passing fraudulent checks at Synovus Bank on Nine Mile Road near University Parkway left the business after the bank called the sheriff’s office. When the woman saw a patrol vehicle, she drove away at a high speed. Major Andrew Hobbs, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, said the deputies did not attempt to stop the woman or pull her over after she sped off.
The woman wrecked about a half mile away and was transported as a “trauma alert” to an area hospital by Escambia County EMS.
The crash is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Further details have not been released.

Not alive and well….in ICU on life support, not looking good. After driving 16 hours thru the night from Michigan with her biological daughter, I can’t really sit here and say “she got what she deserved” or “karma”. This is a tragedy. Children are looking at losing their mother, mother losing a daughter, sister losing a sibling….for the love of all things Holy, THINK about your words.
This was the scariest thing that I have ever seen in my life. Watching them pull her from the car was scary. She was unconscious. She could have killed herself and many others with how fast she was going. Our First Responders and Police Officers do not get enough credit for the work that they do. The lady officer jumped in the smoking car and sat with this lady until Fire Fighters and EMS arrived to pull her from the car and put her in the ambulance. I hope she learned a valuable lesson.
Karma – she is alive and well…
Chances are, the ECSO officer wasn’t going to chase her down for an unsuccessful bad check attempt. She saw the cruiser and panicked. I don’t condone her behavior, and I detest a thief (and theft is what check fraud constitutes, IMHO), but the consequence seems to outweigh the act. She did, however, bring it on herself.
As someone pointed out, she got what she got.
Reminds me of the song “I fought the law and the law won.” Stupid woman….bet your insurance don’t pay off either since you used your car in the commission of a crime. Lock her up and throw away the key.
@ Oddball – Exactly
Kinda like the song Take The Money And Run.
What was it the sheriff in Santa rosa said
Oh yeah, you get what you get
What could this woman have been thinking?
Guess it’s true, Stupid is as Stupid does.
Glad LEO and innocents were not harmed.
Will be interesting to see the followup to this story.
Y’all be safe on slippery roads in this rain today.
I was the first one on the scene , the first responding deputy and I attempted to free her by breaking the windows out , an amazing female deputy arrived on scene and climbed into the smoking wreck in an attempt to save her ,at that point the wreck was surely to catch on fire . The K-9 unit responded excellent under the extreamly confusing situation .
