A memorial service was held this Tuesday to pay tribute to three Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies who died in a crash last month.
The service was held at the iThink Financial Amphitheater at the South Florida Fairgrounds. President-elect Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis, along with thousands of law enforcement personnel, were in attendance.
Corporal Luis Paez and deputies Butch Waller and Ignacio "Dan" Diaz were working traffic enforcement before being involved in a crash on Nov. 21 in Loxahatchee.
They were struck by a Jeep SUV while stopped on the shoulder of Southern Boulevard, just west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, with their motorcycles.
A woman in her 30s from Pennsylvania was driving a gray 2019 Jeep SUV eastbound within the center lane when she is believed to have encountered a slower vehicle in the center lane and "she abruptly veered to the right toward the southern shoulder," Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Indiana Miranda wrote in a news release.
Paez and Waller were pronounced dead at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach. Diaz, who was critically injured, died on Nov. 25.
