| Summary: |
Patrolman Donnelly was killed in an automobile accident, at the intersection of Limestone Street and Main Street, while riding on the running board of a commandeered vehicle.
Patrolman Donnelly was on traffic duty at a nearby intersection when he observed a vehicle that had been stolen earlier in the day. Unbeknownst to him, the vehicle had already been recovered and was being driven by the owner. As a result, he commandeered a utility company truck and followed the vehicle. The vehicle he was riding on was involved in a collision causing him to be thrown from the vehicle, and then struck by another vehicle. He was transported to City Hospital where he died a short time later.
Patrolman Donnelly had served with the agency for a total of 6 years, during two different appointments. He was survived by his wife and brother, who was also a member of the agency. He was buried in Calvary Cemetery.
