Another vehicle failed to yield the right-of-way and turned in front of Officer Genova on State Route 7 at NW 21st Street, causing a collision. Officer Genova was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries four days later.

Officer Genova had been with the agency for eight years and was survived by his wife, son, and daughter.
