A French Lick police officer was killed when his motorcycle crashed while he was escorting a funeral on Indiana 67 in Morgan County.
Morgan County sheriff’s deputies are investigating the crash that occurred Wednesday afternoon as the funeral procession headed northbound near Martinsville, about 15 miles southwest of Indianapolis.
French Lick Police Chief Thomas McCracken identified the officer as 48-year-old patrol detective Justin Mullis.
McCracken says Mullis lost control of his motorcycle and drove off the roadway, with the motorcycle coming to rest on its side. Mullis was off-duty at the time of the crash.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
