Larimer County, weâre heartbroken to share information about a sudden and tragic loss within our agency.
On June 16, an LCSO Deputy, Sergeant, and Sergeantâs family member were vacationing together on a motorcycle trip. The men were traveling on a North Idaho scenic highway when a pickup truck attempted to pass another vehicle in a marked no-passing zone. The truck crossed the double yellow centerline and collided with the motorcycles, killing all three riders.
The truck driver was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail on three counts of vehicular manslaughter. Idaho State Police are investigating this crash.
Out of respect for their familiesâ strong desire for privacy, we arenât identifying the deputies at this time.
There are no good words in a situation like this. Put simply, these were incredible people who dedicated their lives to making Larimer County better every single day. They trained hard, they served well, and they loved life. As we walk the long and winding path of grief alongside their families, our resolve is stronger than ever:
For them, weâll bring light into dark places.
For them, weâll stand for good and fight against evil.
For them, weâll live each day with gratitude and carry their legacy forward.
Rest easy, brothers. Weâve got it from here.
