Illinois State Trooper Killed on US20 3-28-19
I just came across some heartbreaking news on the Illinois State Police's social media pages. From their Twitter feed, it says:
"Rest in peace, Trooper Brooke Jones-Story #5966. She was tragically hit by a truck while conducting a traffic stop on US Route 20 near Freeport, Illinois. Our hearts go out to her family and fellow officers. End of Watch: March 28, 2019."
There's also an even more detailed post on their Facebook page. It mentions how ISP Acting Director Brendan F. Kelly expressed his deep sorrow over Trooper Jones-Story's line-of-duty death today. Apparently, she had been inspecting a commercial vehicle around 11:24 AM on US Route 20, west of Illinois Route 75. Tragically, about an hour later, she was struck and fatally injured when a semi-truck crashed into her patrol car as well as the vehicle she was checking.
Director Kelly noted that this sad day marks six years since another officer lost their life in the line of duty, and he praised Trooper Jones-Story for her bravery and dedication. She had served with District 16 in Pecatonica for 12 years. The post ends by saying they'll release further details as more information becomes available.
It's such a somber reminder of the risks these brave officers take every single day to keep us safe. My thoughts are with her loved ones and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.
