FHP Seeks Hit And Run Driver That Hit Scooter On Highway 29 In McDavid
October 12, 2024
A scooter rider was injured in a hit and run on Highway 29 in McDavid late Friday afternoon.
Witnesses told authorities that a white sedan changed lanes and collided with the Yamaha Vino scooter on Highway 29 southbound just south of Mystic Spring Road. The adult male ride was transported to an area hospital by Escambia County EMS with injuries that were not considered serious.
The witness was unable to provide a better description of the hit and run vehicle. White plastic from the vehicle was left behind at the crash site.
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to call the Florida Highway Patrol at *FHP.
The McDavid Station of Escambia County Fire Rescue responded to the crash.

Other than the obvious hazards, those things look like fun.
Wishing the driver a full recovery, of course.
John, I seriously doubt people are driving scooters on 29 as their first choice. Drivers definitely need to be held to higher standards. I have a full size SUV and constantly have to worry about people changing lanes into me. Things are definitely getting worse and something needs to change.
If the sedan driver changed lanes into the scooter, the scooter driver likely had two evasion options: be forced off the road or hit the brakes if nobody is behind him. This is IF he had enough reaction time. The same thing could happen to someone on a Harley Davison or a Ford f250. If an idiot driver doesn’t see you and drives into you, there aren’t too many options available to you, lol
Hope the guy recovers and the negligent driver is found.
I doubt the scooter rider had any available power to evade the sedan driver even if he had the opportunity. Scooters like this are good for city driving not a busy highway 29. For you riders, get something a little bigger with a little more power. Hopefully, with the left behind car parts they will find the scoundrel that took off!
If you are counting on your fellow driver to be alert and responsible you are living on another planet . There is a killer on the road .
