Officer Killed In Motorcycle Crash ID'd As Father Of 2

ANAHEIM, CA — Anaheim authorities continued an investigation into the cause of a motorcycle crash that killed an off-duty Garden Grove police officer who was the father of two.

Cpl. Han Cho, a 28-year veteran of the Garden Grove Police Department assigned to the Neighborhood Traffic Unit, was fatally injured as he was riding his motorcycle home from work shortly after 3 p.m. Monday in the City of Anaheim.

According to authorities, the crash was reported at Glenoaks Avenue and Euclid Street. When officers found Cho, he was rushed to a hospital in "grave condition" and later died of his injuries.

The other driver involved in the crash was taken to a hospital and was recovering for minor injuries, Sgt. Jon McClintock of the Anaheim Police Department said.

He added that drugs and alcohol did not appear to play a part in the crash, and the cause is still under investigation.

According to a statement issued by Garden Grove police, Cho was on his way home from work when the crash occurred.

"The Garden Grove Police Association will be coordinating with the Cho family on memorial arrangements and donations," according to a statement from the department. "More information will be released at a later time. We appreciate the outpouring of support we've received from our local law enforcement partners and the community, as we navigate through these tough times."

According to a GoFundMe page, Cho is survived by a teenage son, a daughter, his parents, two sisters, a brother and a niece.

"Han was loved by many and his tragic passing has left all of us in shock and disbelief," Cho's sister, Sonya Chung, wrote on the page, which had raised almost $7,000 toward a $40,000 goal as of Tuesday night.

Chung said the money raised will help with funeral costs and "to make sure that his two young children are taken care of as they learn to navigate their lives without their father."
