Two Nevada state troopers were struck and killed by a vehicle while helping another driver on a Las Vegas freeway Thursday, authorities said. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said a suspect had been taken into custody hours after the crash, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
"It's a terrible, terrible tragedy to have these troopers lose their lives in the manner they did," Wolfson said.
Las Vegas police, who are investigating the collision, planned to hold a news briefing at their headquarters later Thursday.
On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
