Detective Harry Hamilton was killed when he and his partner attempted to arrest a suspect in a stolen car. Detective Hamilton and his partner were approaching the occupied stolen auto, when the driver spotted the detectives and proceeded to drive off.
The detectives grabbed onto the sides of the auto and held on as the car accelerated straight into a tractor-trailer. Detective Hamilton died from a broken back and fractured skull.
Detective Hamilton was survived by his wife and three children.
