Fatal Collision
24900 blk Orville Rd E, Mountain Detachment
Incident # 24-314-00954
Deputies were dispatched to a multi-vehicle collision involving a pickup truck and several motorcycles. According to witnesses, the pickup truck was headed northbound on Orville Rd E and a group of motorcycles was traveling southbound. One of the motorcycles failed to negotiate a curve and struck the pickup truck’s rear driver’s side tire area. This caused the truck to spin out of control into the southbound lanes, striking a second motorcycle. That rider did not survive his injuries. A third motorcycle went down during the collision. The first and third riders were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Nobody in the pickup was injured. Deputies do not believe speed or drugs/alcohol were a factor.

Eluding, DUI Arrest
10400 blk Pacific Ave S, Parkland
Incident # 24-316-01017
Deputies were dispatched to a welfare check at a gas station. The 911 caller reported that a man was passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle. When deputies arrived, they placed spike strips around the tires in case the driver woke up and tried to flee. One the spikes were in place, deputies woke up the driver. He immediately started the car and tried to drive away, even though deputies ordered him to stop. Deputies pursued the vehicle, which fled in a reckless manner on deflated tires. After a successful PIT maneuver, the suspect fled on foot. Deputies chased him and used a taser to apprehend him. The suspect lost consciousness and, suspecting that he had ingested fentanyl, deputies administered Narcan and placed him in a recovery position. He regained consciousness and fire personnel took over his care when they arrived. Once he was medically cleared and a blood draw was completed, the 39-year-old suspect was booked into jail for eluding, DUI, and obstructing.
