Safer Internet Day is an annual campaign focused o Safer Internet Day is an annual campaign focused on education and empowerment, helping people use technology responsibly, respectfully, critically, and creatively. The initiative places a strong emphasis on young people, raising awareness about common online risks such as cyberbullying, exposure to harmful content, and the misuse of personal data. Here are a few ways that can help you be safe when using the internet: • Avoid sharing personal information with people you chat with online. • Don’t accept emails, instant messages, or open files and links from people you don’t know. • Meeting someone you’ve only met online can be dangerous. Always get a parent’s permission and make sure a trusted adult is present. • Take time to check and verify information you find online, including confirming someone’s identity. • If something online makes you uncomfortable, or if you notice someone being bullied, talk to a parent or another trusted adult right away.

At 12:06 a.m., ACSO received multiple calls reporting a subject walking in the center lane of I-75 wearing dark clothing and difficult to see. While deputies were responding, the call was updated to a crash involving injuries. Deputies arrived on scene and immediately began lifesaving efforts until EMS personnel arrived and pronounced the subject deceased. The Florida Highway Patrol is conducting the traffic homicide investigation, and ACSO assisted with scene safety and traffic control during the overnight hours. Sheriff Chad Scott stated: “This is a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly tragedy can occur on our roadways, especially in low visibility conditions. We are grateful to our deputies and emergency responders who acted immediately, and we ask our community to keep those impacted by this loss in their thoughts.” This incident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
