ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A 6-month-old baby is in a St. Petersburg hospital and a family is thankful after a deputy saved the child from a deadly crash.
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said a motorcyclist was going more than 100 mph when he crashed into a car with a mother and two little girls’ inside. The motorcyclist died.
The baby is at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Pete. The family said she has a long road to recovery, but if it weren’t for the Charlotte County deputy sergeant’s heroic actions, they would’ve had a different outcome.
Deputy Sgt. David Musgrove was on duty when the motorcyclist sped by him. Just seconds later, he drove up on a horrific scene.

“I saw the pile of rubble but then I heard screaming coming from a car,” Musgrove said. When I looked over, I saw the motorcyclist who was obviously, in my opinion, deceased, half in the car and half out of the car.”
