Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
15-year Anaheim Police Officer Robert T. Roulston, 38, was killed when he collided with an automobile outside Anaheim Stadium. The officer drove straight into the car, which was making a left turn into the Stadium, and was catapulted off his motorcycle. The officer was transported by helicopter to UC Irvine Medical Center, but died shortly after. The driver, Steven Earl Davis, 29, was not cited and was not injured.
An Anaheim Police cadet looks over at fellow Anaheim officer, Robert Roulston's motorcycle, with a Pooh Bear propped on the seat, after Roulston's bike was towed at his funeral procession. Officer Roulston, called "Pooh Bear" by his fellow officers, was killed in a traffic collision.
