Dashcam Shows Orange County Deputy Forcing Disney Worker Off Road Near I‑4 Interchange
The lack of a response from the Sheriff’s Office raises legal and safety questions.
Overview
- The Sheriff’s SUV, in footage from Saturday morning near the I‑4 and World Center Drive interchange, cut across a striped divider and sent a Disney cast member’s car into the grass.
- The striped divider, known as a gore area, is not a drivable lane under Florida law, and a News 6 traffic expert cited Statute 316.089 in explaining why crossing it can draw a ticket.
- The video shows the patrol lights turning on after the maneuver, and the deputy making a U-turn and leaving without checking on the driver, which conflicts with typical emergency-response practice.
- The driver, Ivan Schiffino, was not hurt, and his car had minor front-end damage, and he said the dash camera was key because it captured exactly who crossed the divider and what followed.
- News 6 says Sheriff John Mina has not answered questions or confirmed any internal review, and the silence adds pressure for accountability on a high-traffic route used by thousands of Disney workers and visitors.
