Indiana State Police trooper Master Trooper James Bailey lost his life on Friday while assisting police during a pursuit on Interstate 69. Officials announced that the Indiana Fallen Heroes Foundation has established a memorial fund in his honor. The 50-year-old served the ISP for more than 15 years.

According to the Indiana State Police, Bailey was helping other troopers with a traffic backup from weather-related crashes on the interstate when he was informed that a person evading Fort Wayne police officers was heading toward his location. Bailey began deploying stop sticks when he was struck by the suspect’s vehicle and critically injured.
