Sergeant
Randy White was killed when his patrol car was struck from behind by a
stolen vehicle being pursued by other officers on Texas 114, near Farm
Road 2123.
The pursuit had started earlier in the day when a Wise County deputy
attempted to stop the suspect following a hit-and-run accident. The
suspect was able to evade officers, but was located a short time later
in a stolen vehicle and another pursuit was initiated.
Sergeant White was clearing Texas 114 of traffic ahead of the pursuit
and was parked on the shoulder when the suspect rammed the rear of his
cruiser, pushing it into the back of a pickup truck hauling a trailer.
The suspect was injured in the accident. He was charged with capital murder.
Sergeant White had served with the Bridgeport Police Department for 5 years. He is survived by his wife and 5-year-old daughter.
