STATE v. ELDER

No. 2D06-771.

975 So.2d 481 (2007)

STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Tracie Ann ELDER, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

July 11, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Timothy A. Freeland, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant.

Arnold D. Levine and Robert H. Mackenzie of Levine, Hirsch, Segall, Mackenzie & Friedsam, P.A., Tampa, for Appellee.


KELLY, Judge.

The State appeals from the trial court's order granting Tracie Ann Elder's motion to dismiss the charge filed against her under section 316.027(1)(b), Florida Statutes (2004), for leaving the scene of a crash resulting in the death of a person. The trial court concluded that Elder could not be charged under the statute because Elder's car did not collide with another vehicle and, therefore, it was not involved in a crash. We disagree and reverse.
