Tim was a member of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. He had 14 years of service.

He and other officers were attempting to shut down a lane of traffic while investigating an earlier accident. Officer Huffman was sitting in his patrol car writing a report as another officer attempted to shut down a lane of traffic to clear a lane for fire department vehicles. A tractor trailer failed to yield to the officer who was waving traffic over and struck the back of Officer Huffman's patrol car at full speed.

Tim died of his injuries at the scene.

The tanker truck driver, 33-year-old Jorge Espinoza of Yuma, Arizona, was traveling from Yuma to Phoenix at the time of the crash. He was not injured and is cooperating in the investigation. There is no evidence of impairment.

Tim was also a member of the Arizona National Guard.
