Deputy Norwood was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while assisting at the scene of a major accident. Deputy Norwood was en route to work when he encountered the five-car accident. After assisting two victims he began running towards an overturned tractor trailer. Another vehicle, whose driver ignored other officers orders, drove around the accident scene onto the median. As the vehicle re-entered the roadway it struck Deputy Norwood. The driver fled the scene but turned himself in the following day.
