supercollider

Be on the lookout for a blue F150 with local tags. Within the past hour, the crazed driver of this truck followed a young man on a motorcycle into the Publix parking lot and deliberately hit him not once, but twice with the vehicle. Partial tags were obtained. If you see this vehicle, or know any information about this, please contact our local authorities.

Good point...
An update on this - the young man who was hit is alert and is going to have his injuries evaluated. A blue F150 was spotted in the parking lot of a local restaurant nearby... more to come...

There is a blue F150 in my yard, but please nobody mistake it for the suspect vehicle. It hasn't moved all evening, and by executive order (Mom ) it won't move again until 7:30 tomorrow morning.

Prayers for the young man who was hit...this is really senseless.

Holy guacamole!

Motorcycle run over twice by a F-150 and he's still alert.

Was he trying to go to the Fire Department instead of Publix? I was taught to go to the nearest emergency responder in case of someone harassing me.

Unlike orange truck, I don't have a suggestion for blue truck guy.

Completely unacceptable behavior.

Hello everyone. i'm the motorcyclist who was hit at publix, supercollider, thanks for posting this up. i'm somewhat ok. i'm having a really hard time bending my right knee. i'm trying to get as much info out on this truck/driver as i can. He said he was local and he is probably in his fourties. its a 97-2003 ford f-150, light blue in color. chrome tool box in the bed. extended cab. the driver had somewhat long hair. white male. call the south walton police department at 267-2000 if you guys see or hear anything. thank you all so much.

kurt

Glad you are OK - I bet the WCSO is at his house already.

teamc

tillerjeff, i'm so sorry you had to endure that horrible attack.
we can only hope this criminal will be off our streets soon!

Lynnie

So glad you are ok! Keep us posted!

wow. Did he hit you while you were on your bike, or when you got off your bike? Sounds like you talked to him? How did that happen? Did he start talking then flee?

Sounds like you are a bit busted up, and shaken, but glad to hear that you survived.

thank you so much everyone. this is what happened from start to finish. i was going north on 395. the driver of the truck run the stop sign at regions bank with no lights on. by the time i'm saw him i had no choice but to pass him to avoid hitting him or going into the woods. he then followed me into the publix parking lot. i stopped at the stop line by the front doors and he began to spin his tires. i stepped off the motorcycle and he hit the gas and then hit me with the front of his truck. i then got behind the bike for coverage. he told me i need to respect the locals and learn the "new" rules of south walton. then he started to spin his tires again, he then hit my motorcycle, and me. pinning the bike on top of me. he drove around the parking lot like a mad man then left. his partial tag is C44.

kathydwells

Good Grief!!!!! So he was a "local" that didn't know how to drive. Imagine that! So sorry this happened to you. I am glad that you are ok. I hope they find the jerk and put him under the jail!!!!!

maybe Regions is able to go through their ATM camera, or if there was a deposit in the box...

Tillerjeff

i just got back from the police station on 331. they haven't caught the guy yet.... but they are going to regions and publix to pull security camera footage to help in their investigation. the hardest thing that i'm trying to get over now is facing the fact that another human being tried to kill me for try to avoid a situation that he caused.

rheffron

Sounds like Meth to me.

That's really sad that someone would do that. I know I've been tempted to follow someone and explain how to operate that hunk of steel correctly, but I would never intentionally cause someone harm. Especially for passing me.

Hope they find him and will keep my eyes open for the truck. Although he's probably sleeping it off or laying low.

i've been there plenty of times myself SWGB. i have people pulling out in front of me all the time, trying to change lanes while i'm next to them doing 60mph. i get frustrated of couse, who doesn't. i hope he gets caught soon as well. i keep checking my phone to see if the sherriffs office has called to tell me they got him off the road so he can't hurt anyone else

Tillerjeff

it may have been meth toofartampa, but i was told by one of the witnesses that his truck reaked of liquor and beer.

Tillerjeff

ok guys good news. my friends found the truck. the full plate number is C44 0HX. we called WCSO and gave it to them. they are trying to find the truck now

Lynnie

Ooh, every time I think of meth, I think of my friend's cousin who had a hole in her tongue and was completely out of it!!! Sca-ry

I think you should use that phrase loosely. Anyone who intentionally tries to kill someone on foot or on a bike with a pickup truck doesn't get to share the name of my species with me. He's uncivilized and unevolved.*

If I ever see him, I'll show him how a MINI Cooper takes redneck-shaped speed bumps. I'm all about the new rules in SoWal or anywhere else!

Keep up that defensive driving, Tillerjeff, and welcome! Hope you're back on your bike soon.

SWGB is right about Ed Walborski. Give him a call. And be patient with Sheriff's office. The wheels of justice spin slowly but they have always shown us committment and extreme consideration. They work hard but it really does seem to take forever.

I'm no legal expert, but this guy is obviously up for criminal charges, As far as civil charges, I would think moneywise the sky's the limit just on punitive damages, nevermind injury. The only thing is, does he have a house and home to sue him out of?

Tillerjeff

i'm not sure if he has a house or anything. call the wcso again and they said the investigating deputy doesn't come back to work untill tomorrow at 6pm. i'm gonna call at 6:05 and see if i can get him to come to my home so he can see the extent of the damage done. i'm going to get mr. Walborski involved as soon as the truck driver gets caught

Tillerjeff

oh and the answer to you criminal charges are, Battery with a deadly weapon, attemped murder, leaving the scene of an accident, hit and run, and some else the police officer told me that i can't remember

Daugette_Matt

TillerJeff
I am sorry to hear about your experience. I sincerely hope they get this a$$hole. I ride too, and have seen some pretty crazy stuff from others on the road.
While riding last weekend I ran into some friends at ThunderBeach. They got Ed Walborsky involved in a situation for a friend, and they said the same thing. The guy really is apparently excellent to deal with and is a good guy, and I have heard he lives, or has a house in rosemary beach. Definately get with Ed.
Either way I hope this guy gets what he deserves. I will be looking out for that plate and I will call 911 if I see it. I work along 30-A and ride there too.

captskin

Aggravated Assault, Leaving the Scene of a Crash, and maybe even Suspensed License to start with...

among other things...

good luck to you sir! we're with you!!

SWGB

If nothing else he can at least go after the guys insurance. A friend of mine was hit by someone when he was on a motorcycle and Ed helped him. He's not financially independent, that's not the point, but he got a new bike, medical bills paid, and a little for pain and suffering.

I prefer the lawyers looking to help people and not looking to win the lottery.

I'm also wondering this. This happened on the 7th & the police have had the full tag since the evening of the 8th.

Has anything been done?

ASH

It's the only reason I keep checking back to this thread. We need closure that this person gets what they deserve for trampling someone else's rights.

I with the rest of you wondering why this guy hasn't been caught. However, when I see what tillerjeff said about the investigating deputy not coming back to work until the next day it has me asking wtf?

The investigating deput came to my home last night to speak with me some more and have me fill out some more paperwork. he's bringing me some other stuff that i can't really talk about untill this is over with, but he will be caught soon...... maybe tonight........

Here4Good

And, hopefully before he runs someone else down.

Tillerjeff

ok ladies and gentlemen, yet another update. the deputy came to my home for a photo line up with driver license photos. no luck there, but we did find out who the truck is registered too, it's a company truck, i can't find out who the company is though. but i will soon enough

TooFarTampa

And knees!

Keep us posted tillerjeff ... sounds like this guy will be out of a job too.

it does seem strange to me as well, but i'm not going to question the police. i guess the reason they won't tell me is the chance of retaliation?? god know i'm not going to do that. i just want this thing figured out and a crazy driver off our streets

wrobert

Probably some big conspiracy going on behind the scenes. Keeping you in the dark is a bit over the top.
