BASCOM - Deputies have caught up with the driver of a Ford Thunderbird who left the scene of a crash after running over several tombstones and grave markers, the Florida Highway Patrol announced Thursday.
Dominic Robert Davison, 43, was arrested and charged with careless driving and leaving the scene of a crash after he fled a cemetery in which he allegedly crashed into several tombstones and grave markers.
Davison, of Grand Ridge, was traveling west on County 165A (Wintergreen Road) toward County 165 (Basswood Road) driving a 1995 Ford Thunderbird. He failed to stop at the intersection and continued to travel west across County 165, onto the west shoulder, according to the FHP report.
