Kyle, Texas: Second Police Officer Dies After Comal County Rollover Crash

A second Kyle police officer has died from injuries he suffered in a rollover crash in Comal County, the Kyle Police Department announced on Thursday.

Officer Brennan was a four-year veteran of the department. Kyle police shared his death on social media on November 12, four days after the single-vehicle crash on Farm-to-Market Road 1102. Police have not shared information about a third Kyle officer who was also involved in the crash.

Brennan was an organ donor, and Kyle police said he saved nine lives through organ donation after his death. The department described it as his final act of service.

The November 8 crash on FM 1102

Texas Department of Public Safety troopers responded to the crash at about 12:48 a.m. on Sunday, November 8, on FM 1102, just south of Winding Way, according to DPS. A white Ford F-250 was traveling north when it veered off the east side of the road. The driver overcorrected to the left, and the truck slid sideways, left the roadway and overturned.

Two passengers were ejected and were pronounced dead at the scene. DPS later identified them as Sergeant Anthony Tigre Guzman, 34, of the Kyle Police Department, and Skylar Brianna Arroyo, 28. The driver was taken to a medical facility in San Antonio in critical condition, and three other passengers were taken to hospitals for treatment. In all, two people were killed and four were hurt in the first report from DPS.

Kyle police said three of its off-duty officers were involved in the crash. Two of the injured passengers were also members of the department, and Brennan survived the crash itself before dying from his injuries this week. DPS is still investigating what caused the truck to leave the road.

A department mourns two officers

Kyle police announced Sergeant Guzman's death on November 10. Guzman, 34, had served with the department for 10 years and received numerous awards and commendations during his career, including multiple Life-Saving Awards and Meritorious Conduct Awards.

"(Guzman's) service and contributions to our department and community will never be forgotten," the department wrote at the time. "Our focus remains on supporting the families of our officers and our department personnel during this difficult time."

Of Brennan, the department said community members had formally recognized him many times "for his professionalism and compassion."

"The way he treated people, particularly those going through some of their most difficult moments, spoke to the kind of officer and person he was," Kyle police said. "We are grateful to have had him as part of our KPD family. He will be missed by our entire department and the many people he served in our community."

A funeral home obituary for Guzman lists a visitation on Wednesday, November 18, at Mission Park Funeral Chapels South in San Antonio. Police have not announced funeral arrangements for Brennan, and the department has not released an update on the third officer or on the other people hurt in the crash.
