At approximately 9:15 p.m., on Friday, November 16, CHP Officer John Miller (32) was traveling southbound on North Livermore Avenue about a mile north of Interstate Highway 580 when he lost control approaching a sharp curve. He crashed into a tree and suffered fatal injuries. Officer Miller was alone in his patrol vehicle.

The collision occurred while officers were out in the Livermore area searching for an “extremely intoxicated” driver. The suspected impaired driver was arrested near Greenville Road shortly after the fatal collision.

Officer Miller had been with Dublin CHP since he graduated from the CHP academy in March of this year. He is survived by his wife Stephanie, their 4-year-old son, and 2-year-old daughter.

The CHP is investigating the cause of the collision.
