The Rancho Cordova police officer who was killed in a traffic accident on Wednesday was a 1982 graduate of Galt High School. Those who knew the officer described him as a good student and football player.

Lawrence "Larry" Canfield, 43, was killed at around 1:55 p.m. when he was hit by a vehicle while riding his motorcycle on Coloma Road at Chardonnay Drive in Rancho Cordova, according to a Sacramento County sheriff's report. He was pronounced dead at Mercy San Juan Hospital in Carmichael.

Canfield was a Sacramento County Sheriff's deputy for 13 years who worked on contract with the Rancho Cordova Police Department. He collided with a vehicle driven by a 79-year-old man.

A summary of the accident by the CHP was unavailable late Thursday afternoon.
