The San Diego police officer who was severely injured in a deadly crash in August returned to duty Friday, according to a social media post.

On Aug. 26, 27-year-old Martinez and his partner, 30-year-old Officer Austin Machitar, were involved in a fiery crash in the area of 5200 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. just after 11:30 p.m.

The crash happened after a high-speed pursuit along Clairemont Mesa Boulevard that was called off after the suspect vehicle, driven by 16-year-old Edgar Giovanny Oviedo, did not pull over for nearby patrols who were trying to conduct a traffic stop.

Machitar succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene, while Martinez suffered critical injuries including burns, a broken neck and multiple facial injuries.

Martinez was treated at UC San Diego Health’s regional burn center for about a week after being transferred from Sharp Memorial Hospital. He was discharged from the hospital in September.

Following his release from the hospital, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl stated Martinez would face a “long road to recovery” due to the extent of his injuries.
