Deputy Crashes While Responding To Call

Posted: 9:07 am EST November 20, 2009Updated: 1:43 pm EST November 20, 2009

An Orange County deputy racing to respond to a call early Friday morning lost control of her cruiser and flipped several times before coming to rest in a ditch.

A witness told WFTV that the deputy tried to avoid a car when she lost control and hit a light pole on North Orange Blossom Trail, just south of All American Boulevard.

The impact with the light pole sent the deputy's cruiser flying across the road before it finally landing in the ditch.

Eyewitnesses say despite the violent crash, the deputy got out of her car and was fine.

"By the time we got over here she was up, out of the car and fine, no problems, no scratches on her," said David Luzader, eyewitness.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
