Deputy Edward Dare was killed in an automobile accident while responding to backup officers from a neighboring agency.
The officers were searching for a DUI driver who was brandishing a handgun at approximately 0620 hours. While en route, Deputy Dare's vehicle left the roadway and landed partially submerged in a drainage ditch. When Deputy Dare failed to arrive at the original call, officers began to search for him. At 0800 hours, a citizen called to report a patrol car in the ditch and rescue crews arrived within minutes. Deputy Dare was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputy Dare had been employed with the Iron County Sheriff's Office for five years, and is survived by his wife and mother.
