Law Enforcement Gathers For Colorado State Trooper Funeral

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Colorado state trooper hit and killed by a truck while investigating a crash on Interstate 25 is being honored Friday.

Law enforcement representatives from around the state are expected to attend Trooper Cody Donahue's funeral at Denver First Church of the Nazarene in Englewood following a long procession. Gov. John Hickenlooper has also ordered flags around the state to be lowered in remembrance of Donahue, who leaves behind a wife and two daughters.

He was killed Nov. 25 after a truck driver allegedly drifted onto the shoulder of I-25 south of Castle Rock.

Donahue's family issued a statement Thursday urging anyone who's been touched by his death to drive carefully and to slow down and move over if they see emergency personnel on the side of the road.
