Officer Will worked his last shift Sunday night. He was working a hit and run accident involving a motorcycle. Several other police and emergency vehicles were parked at the scene, with officers directing traffic and with traffic cones in place. A vehicle approached, failed to follow the clear path marked by the cones, failed to heed the verbal and visual directions of police officers, and drove through the accident investigation scene. Officer Will made sure the witness he was interviewing made it to safety, but was himself struck by the oncoming vehicle and killed. The driver of the vehicle was arrested at the scene, was found not to have a Texas driver's license, and was also found to be an illegal alien.
Officer Wll left behind his pregnant spouse and two children. He had been on the Houston Police force for only two years. I salute Officer Kevin Will as a true hero.
