Pensacola, FL - Hit-and-Run Crash on N Navy Blvd

Pensacola, FL (April 10, 2025) – Authorities responded to a hit-and-run accident that occurred on Tuesday, April 8, near the Walmart Supercenter on North Navy Boulevard. Emergency calls came in shortly before 3:36 p.m., prompting law enforcement to arrive on the scene to assess the situation and begin an investigation.

The incident happened along State Road 295, near a busy shopping area that sees steady traffic throughout the day. At least one person was injured as a result of the crash. Paramedics provided immediate assistance to the victim and transported them to a local hospital for continued care. Details on the vehicle that fled the scene have not been released.

Police are actively investigating and are asking anyone with information about the vehicle involved to come forward.

Investigators are reviewing any available surveillance footage from nearby businesses and speaking with witnesses in hopes of identifying the driver responsible.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida continues to rank among the top states for hit-and-run crashes. In 2023, over 104,000 hit-and-run accidents were reported across the state. These collisions resulted in nearly 22,000 injuries and more than 260 deaths. Sadly, many of these incidents involve pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users.

These crashes can leave behind complex questions. Here’s a closer look at what to do after a hit-and-run accident:

  • Get Medical Attention Right Away: Even if your injuries appear minor at first, get checked by a medical professional. Some injuries don’t surface immediately but can worsen over time. Medical records also help support any future claims you may file.
  • Document the Scene: If possible, take photos or videos of the area, your vehicle, and any debris. Try to write down what you remember about the vehicle that fled, including the color, type, direction of travel, or any part of the license plate.
  • Speak to Witnesses: Bystanders may have seen more than you did. Ask for their contact information and what they remember. Witness statements can be crucial in helping investigators locate the hit-and-run driver.
  • File a Police Report: It’s essential to have a documented report for insurance and legal purposes. The sooner law enforcement is involved, the better the chances of identifying the responsible driver.
  • Notify Your Insurance Provider: Many Florida drivers carry uninsured motorist coverage, which may apply in a hit-and-run situation. Your insurance company will need the police report and medical documentation.
  • Contact an Attorney: These cases can be difficult to handle on your own. A skilled legal team can help guide you through the steps needed to pursue compensation.
