The accident occurred Tues., June 10, just before 8:30 p.m. as Chamberlin, who was off-duty at the time, was traveling on Highway 39, near Azusa, in the Angeles National Forest. A CHP officer has reportedly stated that Chamberlin went down onto the roadway, and subsequently hit the side of the mountain. He was airlifted to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries. No other vehicles were involved in the accident, and it is still being investigated by the CHP.
Chamberlin graduated from DBHS in 2006, and immediately entered the Marine Corp. He reportedly served in Iraq in 2008-2009, and Afghanistan in 2010. After being honorably discharged in 2011 he attended California State University Fullerton when he was hired by the Fontana Police Department. A Fontana Police Department news release stated he graduated from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Police Academy in December 2013.
Chamberlin is survived by his parents, Tom and Guadalupe Chamberlin.
