CAREY, Ohio — Gov. Ted Strickland is expected at the funeral for an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper killed
in a crash while on duty last week.
The service for Trooper Andrew Baldridge is scheduled for late Monday morning at the Basilica of Our Lady of Consolation in the northwest Ohio village of Carey.
Baldridge was behind the wheel of a patrol cruiser that went off a road and rolled several times Thursday evening as he and another trooper were responding to a call. The other officer was hospitalized.
Baldridge was 25 and graduated from the highway patrol academy in December. Strickland said he heard Baldridge speak at the graduation and was impressed by his sincerity and thoughtfulness.
The governor ordered flags flown at half-staff until sunset Monday.
