TAMPA — A Hillsborough County sheriff's deputy was in critical condition Wednesday morning after he struck a tree in his personal vehicle while on his way to work, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Deputy Malachi McCoy, 32, was southbound about 6:15 a.m. on Gunn Highway near Tamarind Avenue when he hit a large puddle of water, lost control and left the roadway. His 1999 Lexus then struck a tree on the west side of the road, deputies said.
He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital.
McCoy, an 11-year veteran of the agency, was assigned to administrative duties.

WTFIUWSPT Sep 7, 2011 10:24 AM Less than a minute ago A LEXUS?? I am never shocked anymore at the high end vehicles and multiple million dollar properties owned by our "civl" "servants". This is the guy who shot the guy who shot the firefighter folks, Bello and the two Ginas, whose family also owned the home (gina) the Brito kids were killed in. While I considered him brave his later comments about "carrying the shield of the Lord" (tbo.com) while being a deputy were strange. Nonetheless, I do hope he will be OK. Wonder why he was on administrative?? You're welcome, SPT. I'll go make another user name. Speedy recovery, deputy !! Those crappy lexus just fold up. Get a different car, people if you own one of those

Dude! It was a 1999 Lexus, a 12 year old car. But I guess you couldn't see that from so high up on your soap box. What a jerk!
