Police Officer William McGary succumbed to injuries sustained the previous night when he was struck by an impaired driver at the intersection of Dave Ward Drive and Exchange Street.

Officer McGary was pinned between his patrol vehicle and the subject vehicle. The driver who struck him was arrested at the scene and charged with several counts, including driving under the influence of narcotics.
