A first-year Mohave County Deputy Sheriff has been killed in a single-vehicle accident on Interstate 40 west of Kingman.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety identifies the deputy as 21-year-old Philip A. Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was operating his patrol car late Saturday night when it left the roadway.
D-P-S investigators say Rodriguez was ejected from his marked patrol car.
The Mohave County Sheriff's Office says Rodriguez had been a deputy sheriff for less than a year. Before that, Rodriguez worked as a detention officer.
Funeral services for Deputy Rodriguez are pending.
