Deputy Carbajal was killed after being involved in a single car crash. Deputy Carbajal was traveling down a road in his department's Ford Bronco when a pickup truck entered the roadway from a side road. Deputy Carbajal swerved to avoid hitting the pickup truck which caused the Bronco to flip over three times, ejecting him from the vehicle.

He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Deputy Carbajal had served with the agency for 3 years.

I had the pleasure of riding with Ruben when I was a reserve officer for DASO. He was really looked up to by his peers and the reserves alike. He was very cautious and taught us tactics that I still use today. I have often thought about the impact that Ruben has had on my life, Thank you my friend!
