Police Officer Brian Ramey was killed when his patrol car was intentionally struck by a vehicle being chased by officers from another agency on N.C. 211.

State troopers had begun pursuing a vehicle at 7:30 p.m. when it was clocked at 90 mph. During the ensuing 10-mile chase, the suspect ran three other patrol cars off of the roadway. Officer Ramey came to the assistance of the troopers and parked his vehicle on the left hand side of the roadway. As the pursuit neared his position, the suspect crossed the center line and struck his cruiser on the driver's side at 80 mph, completely crushing the patrol car.

The suspect was also killed in the crash.

Officer Ramey was a United States Army veteran and had served with the 11-person Bladenboro Police Department for two years. He is survived by his mother and five sisters.

This might not be posted , but officer Ramey. I hadn't forgotten you
I felt like you were my friend even though we talked some and barely knew each other
There were three times while you were on duty that you gave me advice.
It really helped
You were a humble man
I will see you again one day so I can thank you
