A Florida deputy assigned to a beach ran over a woman who was sunbathing on Wednesday afternoon.

Deputy Todd Brien was speaking to several pedestrians on the St. Pete Beach when he was dispatched to a call at another location, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. When he made a right turn from his parked position, his vehicle struck Robin Diffenderfer, 23, while she was lying on her back, the sheriff's office said.

Brien was not injured, and there is an investigation into the accident, the statement added.
