Chipley, FL – Hit-and-Run Crash on Enterprise Cir Ends in Injuries

Chipley, FL (March 27, 2025) - Emergency crews rushed to the scene of a hit-and-run crash that occurred at 3586 Enterprise Cir on March 25.

According to dispatch reports, the incident took place around 6:27 p.m. Police, fire crews, and EMS arrived shortly after to find a damaged vehicle and at least one person in need of medical care. The driver of the other vehicle involved had fled the scene before the officers arrived. Paramedics provided aid at the crash site before transporting the injured individual to a local hospital for further treatment. The identity of the driver who fled has not been made public. Investigators are continuing efforts to gather witness accounts and surveillance footage from nearby businesses to assist in locating the suspect.

Traffic in the immediate area was temporarily disrupted as crews worked to manage the scene and collect evidence. Officers are encouraging anyone with information about the vehicle or individual involved to contact the local authorities.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida sees thousands of hit-and-run crashes each year. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported over 104,000 hit-and-run crashes in a single recent year. These incidents not only endanger lives but also complicate recovery efforts when those responsible leave the scene. Victims of hit-and-run accidents often face longer investigations and additional hurdles in securing compensation for medical expenses and other damages.

When it comes to understanding how a hit-and-run crash can impact a person’s life, several key areas are commonly affected:

  • Increased Medical Bills: Victims in hit-and-run collisions often require emergency care, follow-up treatment, and sometimes long-term rehabilitation. Without the at-fault driver identified, victims may initially need to rely on their insurance, which can result in out-of-pocket costs.
  • Difficulty Identifying the At-Fault Driver: Without a name, license plate number, or description, identifying a hit-and-run suspect can take time. This delay can complicate insurance claims and legal proceedings, prolonging a victim’s ability to secure damages.
  • Emotional Trauma: Being involved in a crash and then realizing the person responsible fled can lead to anxiety, anger, and feelings of helplessness. This emotional toll can require counseling or therapy, adding to the financial burden.
  • Uninsured Motorist Claims: In cases where the driver is never found, victims may need to file a claim through their uninsured motorist coverage. This can be a complicated process and often requires legal help to ensure fair compensation.
  • Lost Wages and Time Away from Work: Recovery may mean time off work, doctor’s appointments, and reduced capacity to perform regular duties. These missed hours can result in substantial income loss, especially if long-term care is needed.
