DeLand, FL - The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is investigating a crash that resulted in serious injury to a pedestrian walking their bike down Euclid Ave. near Fairfield Ave. in DeLand.

At around 6:45 AM on Wednesday, 22-year-old Deziyer Swint, of Deltona, was driving a Chevy four-door westbound on Euclid Ave. 55-year-old David Coffin, of DeLand, was walking his bike eastbound in the westbound lane of Euclid Ave.

The front of the Chevy ultimately struck Coffin and threw him onto the grass. Coffin was transported to Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford with serious injuries. The driver of the Chevy was uninjured. FHP has determined alcohol was not a factor for either Coffin or Swint.
