The Bell Police Department is gripped by grief as they mourn the tragic passing of their retired colleague, 64-year-old California police chief Andreas Probst. He met a devastating end in a fatal car crash on August 24, 2023, leaving a profound sense of loss within the law enforcement community and among his family and friends.
The incident unfolded tragically when Andreas Probst was involved in a stolen car accident. He was transported to University Medical Center after the collision, where he was pronounced dead. The Bell, California, police department, and the broader community are left in mourning as they remember a dedicated officer who served the force for a remarkable 35 years.
The shocking details of the incident reveal that Andreas Probst was riding his bicycle in Las Vegas when he was struck by a group of juvenile individuals in a stolen car. The tragic event unfolded on that fateful day, and the loss of the retired police chief has left a void that words cannot fill. Andreas Probst was not only a seasoned officer but a loving husband and father. Tragically, his wife and daughter discovered him lying on the side of the road shortly before what would have been his 35th wedding anniversary.
Probst had remained unconscious for a significant duration before succumbing to his injuries. While the identity of the suspect responsible for the crash has not been released by officials, it was confirmed that an arrest was made in connection with the Las Vegas hit-and-run bicycle accident.
In a poignant reflection of their cherished memories, Crystal Probst, Andreas’s wife, shared that making coffee had always been her husband’s expertise. She now faces the challenge of learning to use an expensive new Ninja coffee machine they had purchased together, as making coffee had brought him great joy.
Taylor Probst, his daughter, fondly remembered her father as “everyone’s father” due to his warm hospitality and willingness to invite complete strangers into their home.
Jim Banks, facebook page shared confirm post of Andreas Probst. They stated that:
Andreas Probst was a 35 year law enforcement veteran.
He was killed on a morning bike ride by teenagers who laughed and filmed as they intentionally ran him over.
God bless his family and may his evil killers face full justice.
The grieving Probst family, along with the law enforcement community, grapple with the profound loss and wonder how many more such tragic incidents must occur on Las Vegas’s roadways before stronger punishments are implemented.
The exact cause of the accident has not been publicly disclosed by officials at this time. A celebration of Andreas Probst’s life took place on September 10 at the Green River Golf Course in Corona, California, serving as a poignant tribute to a dedicated officer and a beloved family man.
