Deputy Down, Hendry Co FL
HENDRY COUNTY: A Hendry County deputy was killed in what the Florida Highway Patrol calls a "freak accident" Tuesday morning.

Sergeant Michael Lee Horne, 45, was going off shift and had arrived at his home off Evans Road around 6 a.m.

Troopers say for some reason he failed to stop at a gate in the driveway. Horne's vehicle went through the gate and hit a garage or utility building.

Neighbor Beatrice Quintanilla says she came out to see a gaping hole in the garage and Horne's car crushed.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Horne was a 10-year veteran of the force. He had just been promoted three weeks ago.

He leaves behind two daughters, ages 9 and 11


Got a few friends that work in this county...say he was the nicest guy around. Pray for the poor kids he left behind...it says nothing about leaving behind a wife...hope he has family that can raise them.

How tragic! It sounds to me like he had some kind of medical issue before the car ever struck anything. What a terrible day for those children.
