Deputy Hill was dragged as the vehicle was driven through the intersection. Deputy Hill then fell to the ground, where he was struck by another vehicle which was following behind.

View all 60 ReflectionsProbably my best friend growing up. You were always in my corner. I'm grateful that I got a chance to know you. I will never forget talking our way out of a fight at RA camp. You were there in case there was a scrap and, honestly, were probably a little disappointed that I was such a smooth talker. Always ready to run into the battle, especially on behalf of those who were in need of protection. Miss you bro.
