Funeral today for trooper killed in crash
AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) – The first female New York state trooper to die while on duty is being laid to rest in western New York.
The funeral service for Jill Mattice is scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday at Eastern Hills Wesleyan Church in Amherst, near Buffalo.
Police say the 31-year-old trooper was driving a cruiser back to the Oneonta barracks from her assignment at Unadilla Valley School last week when she collided with a tractor-trailer in the Otsego County town of Morris.
