I only remember that I was asleep and when I woke up, the van was already turning over. When the van stopped, I was thrown into the grass. I turned my head, and saw that other people had been thrown out. I couldn't see whether they were OK. I couldn't move. I couldn't sit up. I couldn't walk. All I could do was wait for help to come. It seemed like forever because of the pain.

Within the agency, I've always been treated fairly... I stood out because I was the only bilingual Hispanic, I believe, for about the first 13 years in the sheriff's office in my career. I ended up getting all the high-profile felony cases -- homicides, shootings, robberies -- involving Spanish-speaking individuals. So it accelerated my training, but it put a heavy workload on me.
