Two Florida sheriff’s deputies were hospitalized Saturday after they were hit by a car during a funeral procession for a victim of last weekend’s terror attack in Orlando, the police said.
The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed to CBS News that a female driver pulled into the procession and struck two Osceola County motorcycle deputies in Kissimmee.
One deputy was in serious but stable condition, and the other was stable, the highway patrol said. No information was available on their injuries.
The woman stayed at the scene.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office told CBS News it has no reason to believe the collision was intentional. The highway patrol is investigating.
The funeral procession was for Jean Mendez, one of the 49 victims of Sunday morning’s shooting at the Pulse nightclub.
