EDGEWATER, Fla. (AP) — A traffic crash report shows that a Volusia County Sheriff’s deputy involved in a four-vehicle crash had been speeding 80 mph in a 45-mph zone to a non-emergency call when the collision occurred.
Edgewater police Capt. Joe Mahoney told The Daytona Beach News-Journal that two people in one of the cars struck by Deputy Cory Freeburn’s vehicle were seriously injured in the Dec. 20 crash.
