Add to My HeroesAllen Thomas Sharra
Deputy Sheriff Allen Sharra was killed in an automobile accident when his patrol car ran off a dirt road and slammed into an irrigation-canal embankment near Lemoore at 7:03 a.m.
A 15-year-old Explorer who was on a ride-along at the time was able to radio for help, but Deputy Sharra was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was responding to assist another officer who had located a stolen car in a cotton field. The farm road that Deputy Sharra was driving down made a sudden ninety-degree turn without any warning signs. The cruiser left the roadway and struck an embankment. The Explorer was injured in the accident and transported to a local hospital in stable condition.
Deputy Sharra, who served 9 years in the U.S. Navy and two years in the Army Reserves, had worked for the sheriff's office for 8 months. He is survived by his wife, daughter, son, stepson, parents, step-mother and a step-sister.
