A family friend of one of the 25 LA County Sheriff's Department cadets injured in the Whittier crash from Wednesday is now raising money for his medical expenses.

Carole Lynch said she is close friends with the wife of one of the victims who is being identified only as Jose at this time. Jose is a husband and father of two.

Lynch never imagined Jose would be on the wrong end of a horrific incident like the crash that happened Wednesday in Whittier. FOX 11 cameras captured the suspect, 22-year-old Nicholas Gutierrez, leaving his Diamond Bar home Friday. Gutierrez was released from detention on Thursday evening. California Highway Patrol officials are now taking over the investigation to build a case.

Doesn’t the academy cover its students with insurance?

So Tragic. I don’t understand why tox reports take several weeks. When in the hospital setting (ER), they’re received within a day max…

Workers comp claims dont reimburse family from taking time off their jobs to help, take forever to pay out

Poor guy is gonna have his foot amputated but the goon that mowed all these police cadets down is living the dream. He’s a free man! They let him go. He’s half way down to Mexico now. Woke politicians and cop hating DA George Gascon did this to you. They stepped all over you.

Have KarenBass goergecascon robertluna pay for all of their medical bills to each cadet

Shes trying to raise 40% of his medical bills, to cover the copay. Google '40% of cops' for more details.

So the sheriff department isn’t covering his medical expenses?

Workers comp will pay for that! But, I hope he’ll recover well

The sheriffs department, the city, the drivers insurance should all be covering their expenses

We love you jose 🙏🇺🇸🎶

It's workers comp. Why does money need to be raised.

Hold on a second here, doesn’t he have medical benefits at work, this seems odd

No money to Nazis

Praying that he does not lose his foot. This Devil Dog is tough! Prayers for all to make a full recovery and the Doctors can perform some miracles.

Aren’t his medical expenses covered by County of LA? He was technically on duty?

Hope that person gets better.

Not sure why? He was employed at time of accident. Workers comp will be covering his medical bills!

Just say that you’re here illegally and you will be taken care of.

Sheriffs department doesnt pick up that tab? On the job injury or are they not part of the program yet

Glad this trash is off the streets, blue lives splatter.

God bless

Ahhh yes, another heart wrenching story about people who can't afford medical bills and expenses.., the American way!!

This should be the sheriff's or California's responsibility, weren't they on the clock. Oh I'm sorry, California only has money to help criminals. Forgot what state we were talking about.

Prayers

EdGriswold1 As it occurred on- duty its compensable under workers compensation. The Sheriffs Dept is on the hook for salary and medical expenses. Check the applicable labor code sections or contact a workers comp attorney for advice and assistance.

What expenses? Just say it’s a money grab. LA County has badass health insurance and it’s ‘in the line of duty!’ Then there’s STD, LTD, the civil suit.
