On April 28, fellow deputies responded shortly before 7:30 a.m. to Creekside Road after receiving word that Perrigo, a motorcycle deputy, had been involved in a traffic collision with an 18-wheeler. “(The) semi-truck, 18-wheeler, did a left-hand turn right in front and failed to yield for the oncoming traffic, the motorcycle. It was a head-on collision,” said Sheriff Alex Villanueva in a video posted on the Sheriff’s Department’s Facebook page the same day as the crash. “It’s going to be a long road to recovery and our thoughts and prayers to him and his family.”
