Born in Colorado, William Ferris Leiphardt grew up in Long Beach
and graduated from Saint Mary's High School in 1957. He served
in the United States Air Force and then joined the CHP. He,
too, served in the Baldwin Park Area Office for 12 years. In
1960, he married, and he and his wife had four children, two
sons and two daughters.
Officers Horine and Leiphardt died in the line of duty on May
13, 1978, while they were investigating an abandoned vehicle
that had been involved in a roadside accident. A drunk driver
operating a tractor trailer swerved and hit the abandoned
vehicle, pushing it into the two officers. Both were 39 years
old at the time.
This resolution designates the portion of Interstate 10 from the
Baldwin Park Overcrossing to the Sunset Avenue Undercrossing in
the County of Los Angeles as the CHP Officers Harold E. Horine
and Bill Leiphardt Memorial Highway. The resolution further
requests that the Department of Transportation erect appropriate
signs upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover
the costs.
