Border Agent dies in single-vehicle crash

Officer Down: Border Patrol Agent Jarod Dittman
SAN DIEGO — Authorities say a 28-year-old U.S. Border Patrol agent has died after a single-vehicle crash in rural eastern San Diego County.
The Medical Examiner's Office has identified the agent as Jarod Dittman. The Border Patrol won't confirm his name, only saying that the victim was married with a child and had been an agent for more than a year.
Officials say the agent had started his shift at midnight and drove a Jeep on Otay Lakes Road to his patrol area near Jamul. An hour later a second agent came upon the wreck and called emergency crews. The injured agent was taken to a hospital where he died at 2 a.m.
The incident is being investigated by the California Highway Patrol.
