HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Two people on a motorcycle were injured when they were thrown from the bike in a crash with a sheriff's deputy.
The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said that a marked Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Chevy Tahoe driven by a 24-year-old deputy was going west on CR-580 (Temple Terrace Highway) at 12:35 a.m. Tuesday.
The deputy turned left onto Avenue Club Drive and struck a Harley-Davidson motorcycle driven by a 30-year-old man from Seffner, who was on CR-580 heading east.
FHP said that the driver and a 20-year-old woman who was a passenger on the motorcycle were thrown from the bike and were both taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The deputy was uninjured.
"I know that my daughter is not the only one going through this difficult time, but she is not a criminal," said Lourdes Martinez. "She does not deserve to be there."
A Sarasota family is shaken up after being separated from their daughter. Federal agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 22-year-old daughter, Maria Martinez. And now, they are demanding for her return.
