According to a statement from the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, Cheryl Henderson (76) was involved in a "minor vehicle crash" on October 1.

As she attempted to leave the scene, "she struck the other driver and then fled onto Belle Terre Parkway with the driver hanging onto the hood of her vehicle."

"The victim told deputies they had been involved in an accident with Henderson, but when she refused to stop, the victim used their vehicle to block her flight," the statement says. "When the victim stepped out of their car, Henderson allegedly sped up, and the victim was forced to jump onto Henderson's hood to avoid being run over."

Traffic camera video caught Henderson reaching around 50 miles per hour with the victim on her hood before being forced off the road by a good Samaritan.

She was quickly arrested and booked on charges of leaving the scene of a crash as well as aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. She was released Sunday night from jail after posting her $20,000 bond.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly says the victim "survived without any serious injuries," and believes Henderson "should never be allowed to touch a steering wheel again."
