A 36-year-old woman who was on foot on West Moody Boulevard in Bunnell was in critical condition following a collision with a car shortly after midnight this morning (May 13).
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a 39-year-old Jacksonville man was at the wheel of a sedan, driving east on Moody Boulevard–or State Road 11–with a 43-year-old passenger from Leesburg. “For unknown reasons,” FHP states, the pedestrian was attempting to cross Moody Boulevard between South Stone Street and North Forsyth Street, and walked in front of the oncoming Sedan.
The front of the sedan struck the woman, who was severely injured and was not responsive when first responders arrived shortly afterward. UFHealth’s Trauma One, the emergency helicopter, was summoned, and landed at Edward Johnson Park 26 minutes after midnight. (Flagler County FireFlight, the county’s emergency helicopter, goes out of service at 8 p.m. It goes in service at 8 a.m.) The victim was flown to Halifax hospital in Daytona Beach.
The area of the crash was closed to traffic. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, Bunnell police and Flagler County Fire Rescue were among the agencies responding to the crash scene. FHP’s investigation is ongoing. The incident was roughly the 500th crash on Flagler roads so far this year, according to FHP, with 10 fatalities and 376 injuries, not counting this morning’s incident.

This is not true. She was laying on the side of the road. I’m the 43 yo passenger. We don’t know if we actually hit her or not. We didn’t even know that it was a woman. By the time I saw her laying there and yelled to my husband it was too late. I didn’t even know it was a woman until after the fact. It was dark. Something had to have happened to her before that incident. Whatever the case, I pray she makes it.

Idk, sally posted a comment 5/14 10:41 am stating, ” I’m the lady you hit I heard the engine rev up and we made eye contact before you hit me”. Seems to be alot of conflicting accounts of the incident.

I have a friend that claims that she saw the whole thing. Claiming, “She saw a woman lying on the road, and when the woman heard a car engine revving up after slowing down from 50 mph to 35 mph (why? I have no idea… I digress) she decided to stand up and at that very moment, a raccoon wearing a unicorn mask (she assumed it was a raccoon because of its tail. Curious, I asked if it could have been a squirrel – but she insisted “raccoon”. It’s HER story, after all…)
I called BS, but she’s willing to repeat the story to anyone that will listen. You can contact her via phone @ 867-5309. Ask for Jenny

Everyone of u are trolls. Why take time to waiste time? This girl is very injured. She has numerous staples in her head. No one heard and engine rev or saw a racoon. Grow tf up. She was nearly killed. Ironic ppl can reach out with their perception but only briefly. The accident report will have the real significant details. As for this other bs. I’m shocked. I hope they have insurance. A life flight isn’t cheap. I guess that’s where the unicorns & assumptions proceed. I should’ve requested the accident report before now. Things were too serious to consider anything else but the victims well being. I appreciate the community coming together!!!!
