Jacob Thomas Gaulden, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent

Summary

The court held that the phrase "any vehicle involved in a crash" in Florida's hit-and-run statute requires the vehicle itself to collide with another vehicle, person, or object. Because the passenger separated from the moving vehicle and struck the roadway, but the vehicle did not collide with anything, the statute did not apply, and the district court's decision was quashed. CANADY, J., concurring in result, agreed with the outcome and strict-construction analysis but would not rely on legislative history.
