Another Feather in Florida's Cap: To Serve and Protect
Sunbathers run over by police vehicle
Coralie Carlson - Associated Press - Feb. 24, 2003 SHT224
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- A French tourist was in critical condition early today, two days after her sister was killed when a police sport utility vehicle ran the women over as they sunbathed on a beach. Sandrine Tunc, 26, was in critical but stable condition in intensive care at Jackson Memorial Hospital, spokeswoman Conchita Ruiz-Topinka said. Her parents arrived in Miami late Sunday. Tunc and her sister, Stephanie, 27, were struck by the SUV as they lay on a crowded beach Saturday, authorities said. Officer George Varon apparently didn't see the two as he searched for robbery suspects who had been reported nearby. Varon, a seven-year veteran, was placed on administrative leave while the accident was under investigation. He wasn't using a siren and witnesses said the women didn't see his vehicle coming. Police said the vacationing sisters lived in Britain, but did not say where in Britain or where they were from in France. Few sunbathers were on the beach Sunday afternoon under overcast skies. Nothing remained at the accident scene except tire tracks.

****I wonder how Gov JEB is going to make this into a positive???****
