Off-duty officer critical after crash
This comes from reporter Daniel Tedford:
GLENDORA - An off-duty Montebello police officer is in critical condition after crashing his motorcycle on Glendora Mountain Road Tuesday, police said.
Eric Bermudiz, 29, veered into the opposing lane at 1 p.m. Tuesday and hit the guard rail while driving on the road, said Lt. Rob Lamborghini. The impact ejected Bermudiz from the vehicle, Lamorghini said.
Bermudiz is in critical condition Thursday and is being treated at USC Medical Center, said Montebello police.
Reasons for the crash are still being investigated by Glendora Police.
Glendora Mountain Road is known for having its share of accidents, but police said this particular area isn't known to be dangerous.
"There have been some accidents in that area of the roadway, but there haven't been more than a handful in the last several years in that particular area," Lamorghini said.

Officer Bermudiz is one my childhood friend and I wish him the best!
IF OFFICER BERMUDEZ WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD FRIEND YOU WOULD KNOW THE PRESS SPELLED HIS NAME WRONG.
my prayers go out to you and your family.
