Officer Matt Rittenhouse was killed in an automobile collision when his patrol car went out of control shortly before midnight.

It is believed that severe weather and rain-slicked roads, the result of Hurricane Ivan, contributed to the crash.

Officer Rittenhouse had served with the Harriman Police Department for three years and had previously served with the Roane County Sheriff's Department for two years. He is survived by his parents and two sisters.

Linda, another year! It seems like a life time now. But in our hearts it was just yesterday. Hope you are doing well. We are just putting one foot in front or another. But each day brings us closer to seeing them again. We have this hope and joy of what is to come. Take care!
