The vehicle that struck him had its headlights off after sunset. Chief Knapp was flown to a hospital in Seattle with severe injuries and died the following day.
Chief Knapp had been appointed the interim police chief six months earlier. He had retired as chief of police from the Ferndale Police Department in 2016. He is survived by his wife.
