The officer who died was a 16-year veteran and was beloved for his helpful ways. He was running across multiple lanes of traffic to help out another officer when he was struck. He was taken to the hospital, but died later that evening. The eastbound lanes of Walt Whitman bridge were shut down while a police investigation took place.
