A San Angelo Police Officer, Sergeant Korby Kennedy, died in Thursday evening in the line of duty. 

An SUV pulled out of a private drive in the path of Kennedy’s motorcycle.  Kennedy was providing a police escort for drag racing boats to a parking lot.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating and charges or citations might be possible.   The passenger in the SUV was also taken to Shannon Medical Center with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Kennedy served nearly 20 years with San Angelo police.  His body was escorted by fellow officers to Lubbock for an autopsy.
