SUMMARY: On July 5, 2015, at approximately 1:00 am, a deputy sheriff from the Victorville Station was traveling south on 7th Street in a marked patrol unit. As he approached the intersection of Lorene Drive, a red Chevy Silverado pick up truck driven by Robert Burgum of Victorville ran the red light and crossed in front of the path of the unit.
