Woman Arrested In Kentucky For Fatal 2023 Escambia County Hit And Run
July 17, 2024
An Escambia County woman was arrested in Kentucky Tuesday afternoon for a 2023 hit and run crash on Sorrento Road that killed a 61-year old Navy veteran.
Jessica Elizabeth Hendrickson, age 41 of Pensacola, was arrested during a traffic stop in Kentucky.
“While traveling southbound on US 41 in Kentucky, a tag alert was issued to law enforcement in the area matching the description of Hendrickson’s boyfriend’s vehicle (she is known to frequent use or be in). Local law enforcement were in the general area and were able to conduct a traffic stop and ultimately arrest Hendrickson,” Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Jason King said.
On June 10, 2023, Hendrickson was the driver of the vehicle which struck the 61-year-old cyclist from the rear on Sorrento Road, propelling both the bicycle and rider to the south shoulder. Hendrickson then fled the scene, according to FHP.
Family has identified the victim as retired Navy Master Chief Jeff Nichols, 61.
FHP has not specified the exact charged Henrickson will face once she is extradited back to Florida.

I hope she suffers
You WILL face the consequences… Not sure you will have the same smirk when you get your sentence…
Need to add 20 years to the sentence for hiding from the courts, law enforcement, ETC.
… she got them crazy eyes.
Real accused piece of work right here. Hit this gentleman resulting in his death and just drove off.
Glad this case finally comes to an end. award money for information must have outweighed any loyalty between individuals who knew about it.
The family has closure who hit him and left him there to die but will always question why their loved one was going for a bicycle ride at 3 o‘clock in the morning on a completely dark busy thoroughfare to the beach. Infamous Sorrento – one of the most dangerous roads in Escambia County – accidents on a weekly basis
You just made it worse on yourself !!! Instead of doing the right thing noooo you had to do stupid stuff and if convicted you will serve a very long sentence !!! Probably between 10 and 16 years so GOOD Bye!!!!!
She knew she killed this man, yet decided to run, hide and evade capture. She’s a murderer, put her away for life.
