While little is known about what happened leading up to the crash itself, what is known is that Officer Jason Judd was interacting with a group of kids at Liberty High School in Peoria. Those kids then headed back inside the school, at which point something happened while Judd was in the parking lot of the school that caused him to lose the bike from under him and crash into a wall. He was transported to a level 1 trauma center where he was pronounced dead just a short while later.
Such a shame when a police officer dies, particularly in a situation like this. I only bring this up because I was out today and happened by the hospital he was transported to and it was absolutely swarming with police vehicles from essentially every department in or around Phoenix. I thought there was a John Q moment happening, someone's got a gun in there or something, it wasn't until reading the news just a short while later that I put two and two together, It's great there was that sort of showing for one of their own, particularly as it seems this particular officer was one of the good ones. So, such a shame he passed, and I certainly hope his family has plenty of support around them at this point.
