(Champaign Co., IL) — First responders are honoring the Illinois State Trooper who died in the line-of-duty last week. Dozens took part in a procession yesterday carrying Trooper Corey Thompsen from Urbana to a funeral home in St. Joseph. Thompsen was finishing a traffic enforcement detail last Friday when his motorcycle was hit by a truck being driven by Helen Torres at the intersection of 1300 East and Leverett Road. Thompsen died at the hospital, while Torres was hospitalized and cited for Failure to Yield Right of Way and No Valid Driver’s License.
