Ryan Park and his wife Jamie Huntley-Park, who were both part of the SDPD force, were traveling southbound on Interstate 5 when another driver traveling the wrong way on the freeway collided with the pair head-on. The two detectives and the other driver involved in the crash were all killed in the crash.
As news spread of the tragedy, a procession was held hours after the fatalities as a van carried the detectives' bodies to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office and community members gathered over the weekend to remember the fallen in vigils for them.
