ISP Trooper Killed
We had forgotten that ISP still had a motorcycle unit and this is a horrible way to be reminded of it:
An Illinois state trooper was killed in a car crash while on duty Friday in central Illinois.
Corey Thompsen, 28, had finished a traffic stop about 3:40 p.m. when he was driving his police motorcycle east on East Leverett Road in Champaign County. The driver of a truck traveling south on County Road 1300E stopped at the intersection then drove into the roadway and struck Thompsen on his motorcycle, Illinois State Police said.
A witness stopped to render aid to Thompsen until paramedics arrived. Thompsen was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 4:32 p.m., police said.
Deepest sympathies to the entire ISP community.
Godspeed Trooper Thompsen.
