Two Injured In Highway 29 Hit And Run Crash; FHP Seeks Driver

June 27, 2021

Two people were injured in a hit and run crash Saturday morning on Highway 29.

A 74-year old Montgomery man and his 73-year old passenger  from Atlanta were northbound on Highway 29 just south of Kingsfield Road when their vehicle was rear-ended by a red van. Both were transported by Escambia County EMS to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injuries.

The red van was located Sunday morning and towed. At last report, the Florida Highway Patrol was still searching for the hit and run driver.

Anyone that may have information on the hit and run crash is asked to call the Florida Highway Patrol at *FHP or (850) 484-5000, or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    I have been hit twice by hit and runs. Found out that 1 out of 4 drivers have no insurance. Neither driver who hit me and fled was ever caught. Probably why insurance rates are so high.

    After seeing the above photos & damage of the struck vehicle, it seems unbelievable that the hit & run vehicle was able to leave the scene, with the damage it also must have had.

    Hit and run offense is not as punishable as DUI. That’s why legislator should pass law making hit and run offense just as punishable offense as DUI. Stop giving criminals an incentive to leave the seen of a crash.

    @ Tiger: I hope so. They didn’t catch either of the two hit and run drivers that got me.

    All hit & run drivers are cowards. The FHP will bring the driver to justice. Hope there were no serious injuries.
