OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – 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.
