SAN FRANCISCO — A California Highway Patrol officer died after a drunken driver returning from a party slammed into the back of his parked patrol car on a San Francisco Bay Area highway on Christmas Eve, the CHP said Monday. CHP Officer Andrew Camilleri, a 33-year-old married father of three children, was in the passenger seat of the CHP SUV on the shoulder of Interstate 880 in Hayward when the vehicle was struck, said Assistant Chief Ernest Sanchez. A second officer in the vehicle, Jonathan Velasquez, was treated at a hospital and released. The 22-year-old driver who struck the officers suffered serious injuries. Sanchez, who declined to release the driver’s name, said the driver may also have been under the influence of marijuana.
