CLEARWATER, FL — Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a four-vehicle crash involving deputies that resulted in one driver being charged with driving under the influence.

The crash occurred at 2:52 p.m. July 2 on South Keene Road, south of South Keene Road, south of Gulf to Bay Boulevard in the City of Clearwater. According to investigators, 66 year-old Darcey Phillips of Clearwater was driving her 2003 Chevrolet van south on South Keene Road in the left lane when she crashed into the rear of a 1999 Mercedes sedan driven by 72 year-old Wesley Sanders of Clearwater, who had reduced his speed for heavy traffic.

The impact pushed Sanders' Mercedes into the rear of a 2000 Chevrolet pickup driven by 40 year-old Jzon Livingston Sr. of Clearwater, who was also driving at a slow speed. The crash resulted in Sanders' Mercedes turning sideways and it was struck again by Phillips' van on the passenger side. Next, Phillip's van struck a Pinellas County Sheriff's unmarked 2013 Dodge driven by Detective Anthony Orlowski, 33, and occupied by Detective Michael Szeliga, 33, while it too was traveling at a slow speed in traffic.

Phillips van swerved back into the left lane, where she stuck Livington's Chevrolet pickup that Sanders' Mercedes had crashed into earlier. Phillip's van came to a stop against Livingston's pickup. Sanders, Orlowski and Szeliga were transported by ambulance to a local hospital with minor injuries and were released shortly afterward.
