Sanford Employee Charged After Hit-and-Run | Orlando News

A Sanford city employee, Shawannia Smith, faces serious charges after allegedly hitting a bicyclist with a dump truck and fleeing the scene. Dash cam footage shows the truck lurching post-impact before she sped off — despite passing a marked police car. Witnesses intervened, helping the victim and even following her truck. Smith claims she panicked and sought help, but authorities say she ignored the officer. Bond is set at $15,000 with GPS monitoring required if released. The city has suspended her without pay as she returns to court on September 8th — a stark reminder of accountability behind the wheel.
