Fatal Traffic Collision kills SCV Deputy in Valencia

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Traffic Unit is investigating a fatal traffic collision which occurred Wednesday evening that resulted in the tragic loss of an off-duty Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. Deputy Cameron Glover was transported to a local area hospital immediately following the collision. Sadly, late Wednesday evening, he succumbed to the injuries he sustained as a result of the collision.

Deputy Cameron Glover, a four year veteran of the department, was assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station in May of 2008, proudly serving the residents of Santa Clarita for nearly two years working a patrol assignment in field operations.  

All the staff at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station have heavy hearts tonight as we have lost a great friend, partner, and a fellow community protector in Deputy Cameron Glover. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He was survived by his wife, mother, father, and brother. We will continue to support them and lean on each other during this difficult time.    

At 6:25 p.m. deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and paramedics from the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to reports of a traffic collision on northbound McBean Parkway near Granary Square, Valencia.

Preliminary investigation has revealed that Deputy Glover was riding a motorcycle northbound on McBean Parkway near another motorist who was travelling in the same direction. At some point a collision occurred between Deputy Glover and the motorist. Deputy Glover apparently lost control of the motorcycle as it struck the center median following the initial collision. He was treated at the scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel and was rushed to a local hospital where he later died as a result of injuries sustained during the collision.

 

The driver of the other vehicle was not injured.  

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Traffic Unit is continuing their investigation and the sequence of events is still being determined by detectives. Anyone who may have witnessed this incident, and has not yet talked to deputies, should contact the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Traffic Unit — Detective Maag at (661) 799-5112. The name of the other motorist has not yet been released. There is no further information available at this time. Additional information, a photograph of Deputy Glover, and service arrangements will be made available in the coming days.
