Border Patrol Agent Alejandro Flores-Bañuelos was struck and killed by a vehicle near Salton City, California.
He was the first to arrive at the scene of a vehicle crash that occurred during a dust storm which caused low visibility. He was assisting an elderly woman who was still in her car when another vehicle struck him and the car.
Agent Flores-Bañuelos was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Agent Flores-Bañuelos was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the U.S. Border Patrol for 12 years. He is survived by his expectant wife and three children.
