H80 and hundreds of Sergeant Steve Licon's @californiahighwaypatrol brothers and sisters escort him from Inland Valley Medical Center to the Riverside County Coroner's Office. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and the entire @chp_riverside office. Sir, we'll take it from here.
