HAYWARD (KRON) — A California Highway Patrol officer killed in a DUI crash on Interstate 880 in Hayward on Christmas is a father of three children.

The crash was reported at 12:00 a.m. on southbound 880 just north of Highway 92, according to CHP.

Two CHP officers were hospitalized with severe injuries after being struck by a 22-year-old drunk diver, CHP said.

33-year-old Andrew Camilleri died of his injuries hours later.

He was married with three kids, CHP said in a press conference.

The other officer, Jonathan Velasquez, is still in the hospital with major injuries.

CHP says the driver had been drinking and was on drugs.

When released from the hospital, CHP says they have enough evidence to charge the driver with “very serious felony charges.”
