An off-duty Orange County sheriff’s deputy was killed in a single-vehicle crash Feb. 9 in Lake Elsinore, leaving behind a wife and 1-month-old child, according to officials.

Deputy Brian Haney, who worked patrol in San Juan Capistrano, was on his way home from a shift when the fatal crash occurred, according to officials.

“We are mourning the loss of one of our own,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Department wrote in a statement. “Our greatest sorrow and condolences are for the member’s family and closest friends. During this time, we are collaborating with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department as we prepare to honor our fallen member.”

The fatal crash occurred around 5:15 a.m. in the 25000 block of Railroad Canyon Road, near Canyon Hills Road, according to the Riverside County Fire Department, which has a fire station nearby.

Fire officials said paramedics reached the location a short time later and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Video from the location shows a vehicle that appeared to have struck a tree in the roadway median. It was unclear what caused the crash.

“I’m grateful for his service, and my heart goes out to Deputy Haney’s loved ones.” Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley said in a statement. “His young family will need our strong community support through the grief.”

Haney served in the department for six years, according to Foley.

San Juan Capistrano Mayor Howard Hart said on social media he was “shocked and deeply saddened” at Haney’s death.

“I know my San Juan Capistrano neighbors will join me in prayers of comfort and support for Deputy Haney’s family and loved ones,” he said.

Dozens of the deputy’s colleagues gathered for a procession held by the sheriff’s department just after 11 a.m. Thursday, saluting as his body—draped in an American flag—was removed from the vehicle and placed into a hearse.

The remains were transported to the Riverside County coroner’s facility in Perris.
