Investigators said Meyers was driving a black Nissan Rogue when she pulled out of the Winn Dixie parking lot and slammed into a 20-year-old woman driving a Ford Fusion. Meyers then drove off as the Ford spun out onto the sidewalk, hitting a light pole and a Votran bus sign, records show.
Police said the sign hit a man who was waiting for the bus with his wife. The man saw the car heading toward them and pushed his wife out of the way, according to investigators. He remains in the hospital. She suffered only minor injuries.
Meyers’ vehicle was located at her home in Daytona Beach Shores, but the woman has not been found, according to a news release. The vehicle was towed away.
Police said Meyers is being uncooperative and may have left the area.
Anyone with information on where she may be should call 911 or call detectives at 386-681-8463.
