CHP Officer Killed, Two Hurt in Culver City Crash

A California Highway Patrol (CHP) cruiser crashed into a tree in Culver City early Wednesday morning, resulting in the death of one officer and injuries to another officer and a detained suspect. The crash occurred just after 12:30 a.m. near Bristol Parkway and Green Valley Circle as the officers were transporting the suspect. First responders administered life-saving measures, including Narcan, due to concerns of possible fentanyl exposure. The surviving officer sustained minor injuries, while the suspect was hospitalized with an unclear condition. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and authorities closed Bristol Parkway in both directions for a major traffic investigation. Officers and community members have gathered to mourn the fallen officer.
