The Volusia Sheriff&#8217;s Office reported that a sheriff&#8217;s sergeant and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper were attending to a car that had crashed into a deer on I-95 when the SUV veered off the road, nearly hitting them. The SUV collided with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cbp-ice-release-reports-on-border-arrests-seizures\/\" title=\"CBP, ICE release reports on border arrests, seizures\">patrol vehicle<\/a> and the car involved in the deer incident, spinning back onto the highway. The sheriff&#8217;s office emphasized the importance of driver awareness around emergency vehicles, underlining that the situation could have resulted in severe consequences. Additionally, statistics highlight that many first responders and road workers have been killed by vehicles in recent years, underscoring the need for caution on the roads.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Tragedy was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-objections-to-bidens-vaccine-mandate-could-force-weeklong-government-shutdown\/\" title=\"Republican Objections To Biden\u2019s Vaccine Mandate Could Force Weeklong Government Shutdown\">narrowly averted<\/a> on a Florida highway early Sunday when two members of law enforcement barely escaped being struck by a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The Volusia Sheriff&rsquo;s Office posted about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cops-close-call-crowd-teens-death-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incident<\/a> on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VolusiaSheriff\/videos\/930043085746533\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Overnight, a VSO sergeant and FHP trooper were on the scene of a car vs. deer crash on I-95 when a SUV ran off the highway and just about ran them over,&rdquo; the account said.
