FREEPORT -- A car of visitors from Texas crashed Friday afternoon into a Walton County sheriff’s deputy’s cruiser carrying the deputy and a prisoner, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Cassandra Nicole Martin, 29, and Randy Lewis, 30, both of Fort Worth, were heading west on State Road 20 in a 2014 Ford Focus about 1 p.m. with a newborn baby in the back seat, the FHP reported.
Deputy Brandon Coone also was in a left-turn lane approaching U.S. Highway 331 when the couple made a sudden turn to try to get to a gas station and hit his car on the passenger side.
No injuries were reported.
The deputy’s prisoner, 18-year-old Cody Tullis, was the only person not wearing a seat belt.
