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 accident.
Officer Ramey had served with the 11-person Bladenboro Police Department for two years. He is survived by his mother and five sisters.
