PALMDALE – A sheriff’s deputy was injured in a two-vehicle crash late Wednesday afternoon while responding to a call in Palmdale, authorities said.

The crash was reported around 5:10 p.m. Wednesday, March 28, in the area of East Avenue Q and 18th Street, according to a news release from the Sheriffs Information Bureau.

“A Palmdale Sheriff’s Station deputy was responding to an emergent call for service traveling eastbound on Avenue Q, when he collided with a civilian vehicle near 18th Street East in Palmdale,” the news release states.

The deputy was initially transported to a local hospital in serious condition, but his condition improved and he was released from the hospital late Wednesday night, sheriff’s officials said.

Two male occupants in the civilian vehicle were transported to a local hospital in good condition and were also released Wednesday night.

    I’m glad the deputy is okay. He, as well as the other L A County Sheriff deputies are protected by God. As for the other negative comments, they are not bullies and cowards. Tim Scott needs to grow up and not be so negative. If any of you are in need of emergency help, these brave men and women would quickly become your hero’s. Get real, people.

    With much regret, some of Lancaster’s finest have taken the twisted oath of the Praetorian Guard and made it the Rexorian Guard.
    I, [Name] Swear to upkeep the safety of Lancaster and King Rex and to fight all enemies of Rex both foreign and domestic,especially Jim Ledford, and to remain loyal to the Greedyus Kingus Rexus.

    Shame on each deputy who has served Rex above the people they are sworn to serve. Most deputies are honorable people. Those who serve Rex are not honorable.

      This happens in every city and unincorporated area. Whether in Lancaster, Palmdale, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc. Rex Parris constantly comes up in this area because many don’t want to view the bigger picture. Comments about Parris dominate every article all the time, day after day, month after month, year after year. Yet apathy keeps him in power. I have an idea! Vote him out by actually going to the polls.

    … don’t you worry your pretty little heads. Lavish workmans’ compensation entitlements, rest assured your injured LASD officers are living the high life, lapping up every drop of their gravy train spoon fed them, over a silver platter, looking forward to a building, a park, or perhaps even a highway named after them, but for no good reason than nerfing their cruiser, into a local bus stop.

      Do you thank your garbage collector? Statistically he has a much more dangerous job, and last I checked there weren’t garbagemen roaming the streets killing unarmed people because they were “scared” and getting away with it.

    @FedUpWithThe Hate..Sacrifice? They get paid to do their job. See how many would truly “sacrifice” without pay! Sacrifice implies that something was given up. They choose their jobs, get paid to do them and could just as easily gotten a job at Best Buy serving their community!

        Policemen are pent-up, lazy, selfish. insensitive, overpaid, overfed, self-important bully-cowards quick to temper, with itchy trigger fingers. They’ll get no sympathy from me.

      Perfectly understandable. A moment’s inattentiveness, taking a big bite, into those wonderful lemon jelly doughnuts, you know, the puffy ones dusted in confectioner’s sugar? Bet you dimes to dollars Sheriff Andy and Deputy Barney lost it, plain and simple.

    The Deputy will probably get multiple parks named after him now since they seem to just give them away like candy…

      Maybe if you sacrifice your life while serving your community instead of trolling you can have a park named after you too!

        The last cop to “sacrifice his life” in the AV was the mayor’s badged thug, and served no community but Wrecks and his gang of cronies. He did their bidding, law be damned, for years.

            I didn’t respect the bad cop when he was alive, why should I start?

            Serious question.

          @Tim Scott…”The last cop to sacrifice his life,” helped many of us that were homeless, and treated us with respect. I have encountered the bad ones throughout the years when I was homeless, but this cop did many wonderful, selfless acts for us. In the dark lonely world of homelessness and hopelessness, he was a light for some of us at the time.

            That’s good to know, but doesn’t change the fact that when Wrecks needed someone thugged up there was a contingent in the Lancaster Station who were always happy to oblige, and when a regular deputy might have questioned those calls the fact that they could look to a sergeant who never did was part of things going so badly.

            “I want to buy this apartment building, start roughing up the tenants,” should be met with “the tenants have rights,” not “oh boy, kicking in doors!”

            I am thankful for the help he gave us, Tim. I will remain thankful for this one person that went out of his way to help without expecting anything in return. The rest I don’t know about, and I won’t be judge, jury, condemner, on a public forum.

            I respect your gratitude and do not question your perspective. No one is good in every situation to everyone they meet, or bad.

            Events have proven out the perspectives of people who had a different experience as well. When Wrecks “declared war” and came up with his “drive this blight off my boulevard” plan people lost property, and that property had provided homes to many people who really had nowhere else to go…which made the blight worse instead of better as should have been expected. The tools he used in his “war” were law enforcement personnel, who ABSOLUTELY should have known better, and should have said so. Instead they leapt to put the mayor’s illegal plans into action. As a sergeant in the Lancaster station at the time, a senior and respected leader, there is no absolving him of a good share of that responsibility.

            I agree with you about Eminent Domain, and how those in power corrupt this law to suit their own self-interest. Yes, too many LEO’s are not serving and protecting. Too many have gone rogue, and trust has been broken between those they are entrusted to serve, and the people that know differently. There is very little transparency if at all.

          • Tim Scott says

            April 2, 2018 at 8:25 am

            Heck, if Wrecks and his cronies just used eminent domain like normal corrupt city officials it would be a huge improvement. They use police actions to drive down property values for their private purchase, then use city money to improve the property to boost their profits when they resell.
