Ohio Law Enforcement
An off-duty NKU police officer leading a funeral procession on a motorcycle was fatally injured Friday after colliding with a hearse. The accident happened at the entrance to the Gate of Heaven Cemetery on Montgomery Road. Authorities say Officer Roy Sims, 51, had just cleared the intersection in front of the cemetery. Sims was along side the hearse, when the hearse turned right and hit him, apparently not seeing him.
