    Just wanted to post a memorial thread


    Trooper
    Taylor Thyfault
    May 23, 2015

    On May 23, 2015, Trooper Taylor Thyfault was riding along with Trooper Clinton Rushing as part of his ongoing training at the Colorado State Patrol Academy. During the early morning hours, Trooper Thyfault and Trooper Rushing responded to a three-car crash on Colorado Highway 66. Shortly after 8:00 a.m., another State Trooper attempted to stop a vehicle in the area of I-25 and Colorado Highway 66, approximately 3 miles from the crash scene. The suspect eluded the trooper and drove towards the crash scene where Trooper Rushing was waiting to deploy stop sticks. The suspect hit Trooper Rushing and Trooper Thyfault while eluding the pursuing trooper. Seconds before he was struck, Trooper Thyfault instructed a tow truck driver to move and take cover to avoid being hit by the fleeing suspect. Trooper Rushing suffered serious bodily injury and Trooper Thyfault succumbed to his injuries instantly at the scene.

    Thyfault entered the Patrol March 15, 2015.

    @ToyTec Lifts had a great idea. We should organize a Tundra cruise for this!

    Oh man.....prayers going out to his family and friends.

    A simple and powerful reminder of what these men and women face day in and day out. A day that may consist of something as simple as a broken taillight or as major as a homicide could be their last.

    Rest In Peace.
