The La Mesa Police Department is mourning the loss of one of their own, who was struck and killed by a car while stopping to help a driver.<\/p>\n

Officer Lauren Craven was killed late Monday night, the California city’s department<\/a> confirmed on Facebook.<\/p>\n

“Officer Craven was returning to the city of La Mesa from San Diego Central Jail<\/a> when she came upon a collision on eastbound Interstate 8 at Fairmont Avenue,” a post said.<\/p>\n

“After exiting her vehicle to assist, she was tragically struck and killed by another motorist,” it continued.<\/p>\n

De\u2019Veonte Morris, 19, was also killed as a result of the crash that killed Craven, the New York Post reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

“This is a very tragic situation, and it\u2019s very difficult for all involved,” La Mesa Police Department Chief Ray Sweeney said during a news conference. “My heartfelt condolences are with the La Mesa Police Department, our fellow brothers and sisters in law enforcement, as well as with the family and loved ones of the other individual who tragically lost their life in this incident.”<\/p>\n

California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the initial crash that led to the chain reaction. Four others were injured, and one remained in the hospital Tuesday afternoon, FOX 5 reported.<\/p>\n

“Officer Craven\u2019s actions in her final moments exemplified her unwavering dedication to service and the safety of others\u2014a reflection of how she lived every day,” La Mesa Police Department said on Facebook. “Officer Craven was known for her tenacity, courage, and compassion\u2014qualities that inspired her peers and strengthened her community.”<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
