Update: Memorial Held for CHP Officers Killed on Highway 99 Fresno

February 24, 2014- About 2,500 people were in attendance for the memorial of California Highway Patrol Officers' Brian Law and Juan Gonzalez, on Monday, in Fresno.  In attendance were Governor Jerry Brown and State Attorney General Kamala Harris.

The two men were killed on President's Day, February 17, 2014, when their patrol car collided into a guard rail, while responding to a crash on Highway 99, near Kingsburg.

It is reported that the patrol car veered off the road, as they were trying to avoid hitting a pedestrian that was involved in the original accident.

The collision remains under investigation.
