DETROIT (WDIV/CNN) – A police officer was killed in a crash Tuesday while training.
Darren Weathers, a 25-year-old father and military veteran, was known by the name “Lucky” to friends and coworkers.
While conducting a surveillance exercise, another driver crashed into his vehicle, pushing him into a metal structure.
Crews tried to save his life, but it was too late.
"So, it's certainly a dark day,” Detroit Police Chief James Craig said. “It's a very difficult time for the Detroit Police Department."
Weathers served less than two years with the department.
Officials are working to determine the cause of the crash.
