Luis Paez, Ralph “Butch” Waller Obituary, Death – A woman accused of causing a crash that killed three Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies in November has been identified as a former resident of Chester County, Pennsylvania, specifically from the West Chester area. However, the Florida Highway Patrol clarified that while she previously lived in Pennsylvania, she is now a resident of West Palm Beach, Florida, although her driver’s license still listed her Pennsylvania address.
The fatal incident occurred on November 21, when the woman, driving a Jeep SUV, reportedly swerved off the road to avoid colliding with a vehicle in front of her. Tragically, her maneuver caused her vehicle to strike three deputies who were standing on the shoulder of the road. The deputies, identified as Luis Paez, Ralph “Butch” Waller, and Ignacio “Dan” Diaz, sustained fatal injuries and later died.
Authorities have yet to release the woman’s identity, and no charges have been filed at this time. The Florida Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
