Summary
A tragic crash claims the life of Deputy Erika Serrato while she directed traffic after two prior accidents—one involving a fleeing driver who later claimed his car was stolen. A commercial truck, allegedly driven by a man who says he fell asleep at the wheel, struck Deputy Serrato and injured another officer. Three arrests have been made: one for tampering with evidence, another for reckless driving causing injury, and a third for DUI—though one suspect’s exact role remains unclear. The investigation continues as the community mourns the loss of a dedicated officer.
