On December 12, 2025, deputies were dispatched to a road construction zone in the 12500 block of Darmstadt Road after receiving reports of a reckless driver. Construction workers advised that traffic had been stopped when a silver Chevrolet Camaro disregarded a flagger’s stop sign, drove around the flagger, and struck the sign with the vehicle’s front bumper. The vehicle then accelerated through the construction zone at a high rate of speed, nearly striking a worker.
