'This is heartbreaking': Pinal County sheriff Mark Lamb's son and granddaughter killed in car crash
GILBERT, ARIZONA: A 22-year-old male and an infant died in a two-vehicle collision on December 16 in Gilbert at Elliot Road and Cole Drive. A woman who was also in the car was hospitalized in a critical condition. The infant was identified by Gilbert police as the granddaughter of Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb and the adult victim as Cooper Lamb, his son. Cooper's fiancee survived the crash but was gravely injured.
The Gilbert Police Department claims that a red passenger car was struck by a silver truck that was moving west at what seemed to be "normal speeds." The red car had made an effort to turn left and head north on Cole Drive. Cooper and his child were in the car that Cooper's fiancee was allegedly driving. Cooper Lamb and the one-year-old were pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of officers and Gilbert Fire and Rescue first responders to save their lives.
