DELAWARE COUNTY, — The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office said both drivers will be ok after a deputy was involved in a rollover crash during a pursuit.

The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) said a deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop in the Oaks area but the vehicle did not comply.

“The deputy managed to keep pace with the vehicle, although dust from the unpaved roads hindered visibility at times,” DCSO said in a Facebook post.

The pursuit continued until the intersection of Highway 412 and County Road 590 where another vehicle struck the deputy’s unit on the driver’s side, causing it to roll over before coming to a rest on its wheels, DCSO said.

DCSO said the deputy was airlifted to a nearby hospital and was cleared by medical staff.

Both drivers were released by medical staff with no broken bones and will be ok, DCSO said.
