He was driving on the Taylor Highway, near mile marker 114, when his vehicle left the roadway, went down a 200-foot embankment, and landed in the rain-swollen O'Brien Creek. A passerby who saw tracks down the embankment notified Alaska State Troopers, who started a massive search along with other state and federal agencies.

Officer Collins' body was recovered on August 15th, 2010.
