Kyle Police Department Mourns Second Officer Lost in Comal County Rollover Crash
The Kyle Police Department has lost two officers following a rollover crash in Comal County on Sunday and a third officer was injured.
Officer Brennan died Thursday from injuries sustained in the crash, the department announced. According to the announcement, he saved nine lives through organ donation. Sgt. Anthony “Tigre” Guzman, 34, of New Braunfels, died at the scene.
According to Kyle police, Guzman earned multiple Life-Saving and Meritorious Conduct Awards, along with other commendations.
The department said three of its off-duty officers were involved. The Texas Department of Public Safety reports that a white Ford F-250 was traveling north on FM 1102, near Winding Way, shortly before 1 a.m. when it veered off the right side of the road. The driver overcorrected, and the truck overturned, ejecting two passengers.
Skylar Brianna Arroyo, 28, of New Braunfels, also died at the scene.
Her husband, Austin Arroyo, the son of the former Chief Deputy with the Comal County Constable’s Office Precinct 4, was among the injured and is facing “a long road to recovery”.
Four people were injured, including the driver, who was taken to a San Antonio hospital in critical condition. Among the injured was a Hays County deputy who was off-duty. DPS has not released the driver’s name or the conditions of the other passengers.
DPS said its investigation is continuing, and the cause of the crash has not been determined.
Kyle police said the loss has been deeply felt across the department.

A nationwide Microsoft 365 and Outlook outage began on Thursday morning impacting users across the United States, including local government entities like the City of Austin and various U.S. federal departments.
Incoming Messages: Emails sent to City of Austin addresses during the downtime are generally held in a queued delivery state by the sending servers. Exchange Online and external email providers typically retry delivery automatically for up to 24 hours, meaning most incoming emails will arrive once connection is restored (though potentially delayed or out of order).
Outgoing Messages: Any emails attempted by staff during the outage remain in Outbox or Drafts folders and will need to be checked before resending once service is restored to avoid duplicate messages.
Residents requiring immediate assistance from city departments should use direct telephone lines or call 311 for non-emergency city services until Microsoft restores normal cloud email service.
