CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) - Members of law enforcement and the public are honoring a Colorado trooper who died after being hit by a vehicle while investigating a crash last week.
They’re participating in a procession and memorial service for 37-year-old Trooper William Moden (MO’-dane) in suburban Denver on Friday morning.
The 12-year veteran was outside his patrol car assisting with a crash on Interstate 70 when he was hit by another vehicle between Peoria and Deer Trail on June 14. A woman and an 18-month-old child were seriously injured in the original crash.
Moden is second trooper to be killed this year along a Colorado highway.
