Summary: |
Trooper Taylor Thyfault was struck and killed by a vehicle that was fleeing from other officers.
Thyfault, a cadet in the Trooper Police Academy, was riding along with a trooper as part of his required training. They were at the scene of an unrelated vehicle crash on Colorado Highway 66, near Weld County Road 1. As they conducted their accident investigation, a vehicle pursuit approached their location. The trooper and Cadet Thyfault were deploying stop sticks when the offender swerved and struck both of them with his vehicle. Just prior to the subject vehicle hitting Trooper Thyfault, he warned a tow truck driver of the approaching danger directing him to move out of harms way. Seconds later Trooper Thyfault was struck but the tow truck driver had moved to safety. Trooper Thyfault is credited with saving his life.
Trooper Thyfault was killed and the trooper was critically injured.
The driver of the vehicle was apprehended near the scene.
Trooper Thyfault had served with the Colorado State Patrol for only several weeks. He was posthumously promoted to the rank of Trooper from the rank of Cadet.
