Deputy Sheriff Killed in Crash On Wednesday, October 14, 2015 at approximately 9:40 p.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tragically lost one of our own. While off-duty and in his personal vehicle, Deputy Brandon Arce was involved in a fatal traffic collision. He was traveling southbound on San Francisquito Canyon Road in the unincorporated area of Santa Clarita when for an undetermined reason his vehicle collided head-on with another vehicle. Sheriff Jim McDonnell stated the following, "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Deputy Brandon Arce, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Law enforcement is a close knit community and when we lose a member of
our family the loss is definitely felt by everyone. We have Department personnel with his family offering support during this challenging time. As we work through this devastating loss, our thoughts go out to the families and all those affected by this tragedy."
