The officers were driving in opposite directions at approximately 9:30 p.m. on the 17-foot wide dirt road, which crossed the levee in a remote area with little light. Both officers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. Officer Randall succumbed to his injuries two days after the accident.
