As he instructed the car to overtake the truck, his body came in contact with several steel rods protruding from the truck. He was knocked to the ground and killed.

Officer Dennis was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Honolulu Police Department for only six months. He was survived by his wife and five stepchildren.
