A woman driving down Alafaya Trail around 1:30 a.m. smashed into an Orange County Sheriff’s patrol car and nearly hit deputies directing traffic near UCF, FHP troopers told ClickOrlando.com.
The deputies had to jump out of the way when they heard screeching tires barreling toward them.
“It was a very close call,” Trooper Montague Haight told ClickOrlando.com. “The officers would have been hit if they would not have been there and heard at the last second the squealing of the tires, they would have been hit by this car.”
No one was injured in the accident, but the woman was given a ticket for careless driving, the website reported.
Deputies were directing traffic at the time because of a water main break at Alafaya and Corporate.
