He was responding to investigate a sensor that had been activated in the area when his Jeep Wrangler patrol vehicle left the roadway and overturned in a rugged area. Another agent located the wreckage at about 5:30 am.

Border Patrol Agent Salazar had served with the United States Border Patrol for four years and was assigned to the El Cajon Station. He is survived by his wife and son.
