Description
An Auburndale Police Department sergeant was cited for speeding months after a November 2023 crash that killed a 5-year-old girl.
The decision to cite Sgt. Danny Swan with unlawful speed was made Thursday following a Polk County Sheriff's Office investigation.
Deputies said Swan was heading to U.S. Highway 92 at Old Winter Haven Road in his department Chevrolet Silverado on a call for help from a Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputy who reported a combative person. Swan activated his lights and sirens and was traveling east when he crashed into the side of a Kia sedan, driven by Jermanica Anglin, at the intersection of U.S. 92 and Havendale Boulevard.
Anglin's 5-year-old daughter, Jalina, was in the backseat wearing a seat belt. She was not in a booster seat or approved child restraint device, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
