He had pulled alongside the violator's vehicle to signal the driver to pull over. The driver, apparently not seeing him, turned left and struck him. Officer Passer was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Officer Passer had been with the agency for two years and was survived by his wife, two daughters, and parents.
