A San Bernardino County deputy was involved in a harrowing crash late last night, colliding with two vehicles before slamming into a small business. The incident unfolded just after 11 PM, raising immediate concerns about the deputy’s condition and the structural integrity of the impacted building.

Eyewitnesses reported a chaotic scene as the sheriff’s vehicle careened into the corner of a restaurant supply store, leaving significant damage in its wake. The deputy was promptly transported to the hospital, with the extent of injuries currently unknown. Meanwhile, a canine companion, believed to be a puppy, was seen being escorted by deputies after the crash, adding another layer of urgency to the unfolding situation.

Authorities have confirmed that the crash involved three vehicles, with one driver allegedly running a red light, triggering the collision. Fortunately, no arrests have been made, and there are no indications of criminal activity. However, one additional driver was hospitalized, intensifying concerns about the safety of the roads in the area.

As the scene remains active, police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash, including why the deputy was operating outside of their jurisdiction at the time. The building has been boarded up and tagged for structural concerns, with officials assessing the damage and potential risks.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of law enforcement duties and the dangers that can arise in the line of duty. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
