BRANDON, Fla. – A Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputy was hospitalized with minor injuries after a crash with a pickup truck caused a cruiser to roll onto its side, WFTS reported.
Traffic camera footage shows the cruiser, with lights activated, moving across an intersection. A pickup truck traveling perpendicularly then drove into the intersection, colliding with the cruiser. The impact caused the deputy’s vehicle to flip onto its side before returning to an upright position.
The deputy was taken to the hospital for evaluation but is expected to recover, according to the report. Officials confirmed the deputy had lights and sirens activated and was responding to another incident at the time of the crash.
