Luis Paez, Ralph "Butch" Waller, and Ignacio "Dan" Diaz killed when vehicle strikes police motorcycles on Southern Boulevard in Loxahatchee, Florida

That's when, the spokesperson said, a woman in her 30s from Pennsylvania was driving a gray 2019 Jeep SUV and encountered a slower vehicle in the center lane. She abruptly veered to the right, causing her SUV to crash into the metal guardrail, spin out and hit the deputies who were standing on the side of the road.

The union for Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office deputies said its collecting donations at this link to help support the families after their loss.

The crowd was also filled with people who never had the chance to meet the deputies, but wanted to show their support for the law enforcement community.
