A Riverside County sheriff’s deputy is in critical condition Friday after getting into a traffic collision in San Jacinto, agency officials said.
The deputy, assigned to the department’s Hemet station, was en route to a call for service as backup for another deputy, when they collided with a vehicle at Esplanade Avenue and State Street about 2:16 a.m. The driver of the other vehicle was hospitalized for “moderate injuries,” according to a press release by the sheriff’s office.
Another deputy was also injured while attempting to extract the deputy in the crash from their vehicle and was taken to the hospital but has since been released.
