Officer Houston's motorcycle collided with an interstate bus at the intersection of Lafayette and Congress.
He was transported to St. James Hospital where one of his legs was amputated. He succumbed to his injuries three days later, despite the fact that over 40 fellow officers donated blood for his recovery.
