“Rebecca is a San Bernardino County Deputy Sheriff assigned to the Barstow Sheriff’s Station and, has been with the department since September of 2016,” Sheriff’s officials said. “ [The] FAA and NTSB were contacted and have responded to assist the Sheriff’s Aviation Division with the investigation. The cause of the collision is unknown at this time and the investigation is ongoing.”

Feels like yesterday that sheriff JOHN McMAHON swore Rebecca in. It's a tragic and sad day for all of us. May God watch over her parents.
