Pasco News Online reported details of the incident, which occurred Tuesday evening at 7:15 p.m. at the intersection of State Road 54 and Collier Parkway.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the 26-year-old deputy was driving a marked Pasco County Chevy Tahoe north on Collier Parkway with his emergency lights and siren activated.
