After his service in the Marines, Mr. Sanders attended and
graduated from the CHP Academy. Officer Sanders, badge

was directing traffic at the site of a traffic collision on
eastbound SR 60, west of Azusa Avenue in the city of
Hacienda Heights. A subsequent collision between two
vehicles caused one of the vehicles to veer out of control,
striking Officer Sanders and causing major injuries.
