He was seriously wounded in the accident and died after contracting a bloodstream infection.
Sergeant Dryden had been with the agency for just under ten years.

We remember FDR. We might remember his first inaugueration was March 4, 1933, but few will remember that that was the day that decided this young man's fate, as well.
Today, we remember the date he made the ultimate sacrifice for the people of Maryland.
