Funeral held for Ohio trooper killed in car crash

Associated Press

CAREY, Ohio – Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and more than 500 officers have paid their respects to a state Highway Patrol trooper who was killed in a car crash while on duty last week.

The service for Trooper Andrew Baldridge was held Monday morning at the Basilica of Our Lady of Consolation in the northwest Ohio village of Carey.

Baldridge was behind the wheel of a patrol cruiser that went off a road and rolled several times Thursday evening as he and another trooper were responding to a call. The other officer was hospitalized.

Baldridge was 25 and graduated from the highway patrol academy in December. Strickland says he heard Baldridge speak at the graduation and was impressed by his sincerity and thoughtfulness.

The governor ordered flags flown at half-staff until sunset Monday.
