Sergeant Herschel Turner was struck and killed by a police car while assisting a neighboring agency at the scene of a traffic stop on Chambers Road near Lance Drive.

Another Bellefonte Neighbors officer was arriving at the scene to assist when a vehicle in front of it struck one of the police cars.
