A 34-year-old police sergeant who spent a decade serving the Kyle community is among two people killed in a serious rollover crash in Comal County, Texas. Anthony Tigre Guzman died early Sunday, November 8, 2026, after being ejected from a pickup truck that overturned on Farm-to-Market Road 1102.
Guzman’s death has brought attention to the career of an officer whose work earned him recognition within the Kyle Police Department. He had served the department for 10 years, receiving honors that reflected his leadership, commitment and contributions to police work.
One of those honors was the Chief’s Guiding Light Award, which recognized his influence on the department’s culture and operations. Guzman was also credited with helping establish the department’s Gang Unit and providing gang-related training. His work included mentoring colleagues and helping strengthen investigative teams.
He had previously received a Meritorious Conduct Award, another recognition of his service. These honors became part of a career built around law enforcement and public safety. For the officers who worked alongside him, his death means losing a colleague whose contributions extended beyond his regular duties.
The fatal crash happened shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday on FM 1102, just south of Winding Way. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, a white Ford F-250 was traveling north when it veered off the right side of the road.
Investigators said the driver overcorrected to the left, causing the pickup to slide sideways before leaving the roadway and overturning. The violent crash ejected two passengers, later identified as Guzman and 28-year-old Skylar Brianna Arroyo. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash also left four other occupants injured. The driver was taken to a medical facility in San Antonio in critical condition, while three passengers were transported to various medical facilities. The Kyle Police Department confirmed that two of the injured passengers were also members of its department.
The loss is especially painful for a police department that had worked alongside Guzman for 10 years. His experience, leadership and involvement in department operations made him a familiar part of the team. His awards also showed that his work had been recognized by those who served with him.
For his family and friends, however, the loss is far more personal than any award or professional achievement can explain. A man who had spent years working to protect others is now being mourned by the people whose lives he touched.
Authorities have not released further details about what caused the pickup to leave the road. The Texas Department of Public Safety is continuing its investigation into the crash.
Anthony Tigre Guzman was 34 years old. He leaves behind a 10-year record of service with the Kyle Police Department and colleagues who will remember his work, leadership and commitment to the badge.
