Two Kyle Police Officers Die After Comal County Rollover

Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating the Nov. 8 single-vehicle crash to determine its cause.

Overview

  • A Ford F-250 running north on FM 1102 veered off the right side of the road, overcorrected and overturned in a single-vehicle rollover on Nov. 8, ejecting multiple occupants.
  • Kyle Police Sgt. Anthony Tigre Guzman was announced dead by the department on Nov. 10 and Officer Austin Brennan was announced dead on Nov. 12; both deaths are attributed to injuries from the Nov. 8 crash.
  • Officer Brennan was an organ donor and, according to the Kyle Police Department, his donations saved nine lives after his death.
  • The Texas Department of Public Safety is leading the active investigation and has not yet determined whether speed, restraint use, impairment or mechanical failure contributed to the crash.
  • Officials say the driver was taken to a San Antonio-area hospital in critical condition, a third Kyle officer was involved but has not been publicly identified, and the crash has prompted local mourning and community support for other victims.
