After receiving the shots fired call, one of the ECSO deputies hit a driver while one the way to the scene on Patricia Drive, according to Florida Highway Patrol. While the deputy had her lights and sirens activated, a pickup truck attempted to pull into a driveway instead of pulling over and stopping, which is Florida law.
Both drivers received minor injuries, according to the FHP release, and the deputy was transported to a local hospital by EMS. Lewis also confirmed the deputy only sustained minor injuries.
FHP says the driver of the pickup truck was cited for failure to move over.
