Cocoa, FL (July 21, 2025) — A 55-year-old woman from Cocoa was hospitalized after being struck in a hit-and-run crash in Brevard County. According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), the incident occurred July 12th around 6:48 a.m. on Arabella Lane, just north of Barclay Drive.

Authorities say the victim was walking along the right shoulder of the roadway heading north when a vehicle, also traveling northbound, struck her with its front right bumper. The vehicle fled the scene immediately, leaving the woman with non-life-threatening injuries. She was transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center for treatment.

Initial investigations pointed to a lighter-colored 2004–2008 Honda Accord—either silver or gold—as the suspect vehicle. The car was believed to have sustained damage to its front right bumper and passenger side mirror.
