City : Flagstaff
County : Coconino
State : Arizona
Agency : Flagstaff Police Department, Arizona Department of Public Safety
Officer(s) : Jacob Buckwald
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Bystander killed in police vehicle crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 09/20/2025, Officer Jacob Buckwald was involved in a two-vehicle collision on Butler Avenue in Flagstaff. The driver of the second vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Buckwald was hospitalized with minor injuries and later released.
This fatal crash follows a previous incident in July 2024 when Buckwald was involved in another serious crash documented at well over 70 miles per hour, which caused devastating injuries. He was suspended after that crash. He was reinstated to limited duty in late 2024 and only cleared back for full patrol duty in August 2025.
The department has suggested that Buckwald was allegedly “impaired” due to seizure medication in the earlier wreck. The department has not explained the cause of the possible impairment and repeat crashes caused by this officer. Allowing him to resume patrol duties despite prior dangerous crashes raises serious questions about oversight and accountability. Following the September 2025 crash, Officer Buckwald resigned from the Flagstaff Police Department.
