Crash occurred near intersection of US- 192 and Oak Street
An Osceola County Sheriff’s Office deputy was injured in a crash involving a vehicle driven by a woman who was being chased by her ex-boyfriend, the sheriff’s office said.
Just after 11 p.m. Monday, deputies received a 911 call from a woman who reported her ex-boyfriend was chasing her and shooting at her vehicle. As deputies responded, the suspect and victim were both traveling westbound on US-192 near the sheriff’s office. The suspect rammed the victim’s car, forcing it into the eastbound lanes — directly into the path of a responding deputy’s patrol vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
Two people inside the victim’s car had to be extricated from the vehicle. Both were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. The deputy was also transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect fled the scene but was later apprehended at his residence in St. Cloud, deputies said.
Both the Florida Highway Patrol and the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office are investigating.
