Deputy Sergio Aleman was driving in the southbound lanes of I-43 near Juneau Boulevard at 12:17 p.m. when the accident occurred, according to a statement from Inspector Edward Bailey.

Deputy Aleman was driving a sheriff's truck that provides service to disabled motorists among other things when he struck the tow truck that was stopped on the shoulder of the highway.
