Around 7:15 PM this evening, Tuesday, March 12, 2019,  A PCSO Deputy sheriff on patrol in the Northeast district saw a red car driving at a high rate of speed heading north on Marigold Avenue – the Deputy was near the Coyote Drive area.  The deputy pulled out onto Marigold to track down the red car and as he rounded a curve he saw that a crash had occurred.
