He was traveling on Paul Maillard Road with his emergency lights activated when an oncoming vehicle attempted to make a left turn in front of him onto Post Drive. Deputy Watson, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time, attempted to avoid a collision but sideswiped the vehicle and then struck another vehicle head-on.
The occupants of the other vehicles all suffered injuries.
