NAPLES, Fla. - A woman was hit by a car in a hit-and-run crash on Wednesday morning in Naples, according to Florida Highway Patrol. 

The Collier County Sheriff's Office received a call about the woman at 7:18 a.m. and when they arrived, they found her in a ditch near the side of 106th Avenue North. 

Florida Highway Patrol was contacted and took charge of the scene. 


The woman, Susan, a 53-year-old Naples woman and wife of Timothy Canter, was airlifted to the hospital with serious injuries. She broke her femur, fractured her back, neck and ribs, bruised her liver and spleen and broke her tail bone, according to a GoFundMe set up by her husband.  

Investigators said there were two parts of a headlight left behind at the scene, and that the vehicle that hit Susan should have damage to its front end. It should also have a broken headlight cover.

Troopers said the victim does not remember how the crash happened. She was walking on the side of the road on her way to work when she was hit.

Timothy Canter has been posting flyers around town requesting that anyone with information about the accident report it to investigators. 


Investigators are asking anyone with any information to call Trooper Samuel Garcia at 239-938-1800 option 3.
