FHP Apprehends Hit And Run Driver That Struck Cantonment Man’s Pickup

October 27, 2021

The Florida Highway Patrol patrol apprehended a hit and run driver Monday evening after he crashed into a Cantonment man’s pickup truck.

FHP said the driver of a Chevrolet Suburban was traveling west on Nine Mile Road when he turned left onto the Highway 29 entrance ramp. He collided with a Ford F150 driven by a 57-year old Cantonment man.

The driver of the Suburban fled south on Highway 29 and was later located and apprehended near an O’Reilly Auto Parts store. Elias Quintanilla was issued criminal citations by FHP for leaving the scene with damage and no valid driver’s license. He was also ticketed for failure to yield.

There were no injuries in the traffic crash.

    I was the one hit last night, very fortunate that he was apprehended, He is not the owner of the vehicle. Thanks to the Florida State Highway patrol and a big thanks to the lady who saw it and said she was going to chase him down and probably called it in to the police.

    Hit and runs are a scourge in our area. It’s happened to me twice. The last time I was hit, the person stopped and had insurance, thank goodness.

    I feel for the victim, the perp will most likely disappear, never righting his wrong. I’m sure that Mr. ELIAS doesn’t have insurance, since he has no license, makes me wonder who’s vehicle he was driving.
