Collier deputy’s cruiser involved in East Naples crash

EAST NAPLES, Fla. A Collier County Sheriff’s Office cruiser was struck in a collision that partially closed U.S. 41 at Seminole Avenue, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputy Andres Delgado and the driver of a 1994 Buick Sable, later identified as Dominick Cornacchia, 18, sustained minor injuries.

Two southbound lanes on U.S. 41 were blocked near the scene for about two hours. The crash took place at 11:10 p.m., according to the sheriff’s office, and the road cleared around 1:17 p.m., the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Cornacchia was cited for failing to yield to the right of way, the FHP said. He was at the intersection and entered the path of Delgado’s cruiser.
