CEDAR PARK, Texas -- A 41-year-old Austin-area police
officer training for motorcycle service has died of injuries
incurred when the motorcycle on which he was training crashed.
Cedar Park police say Officer Leonard Reed died Wednesday
evening, several hours after the mid-afternoon crash on a side
street in the Austin suburb.
A Cedar Park police spokesman says details of the crash are
still sketchy, but he says a motorcycle officer traveling with Reed
tried to revive the officer until emergency medical technicians
could arrive.
Police Capt. Jeff Hayes says Reed had been on the Cedar Park
force for four years and had been training for the motorcycle force
for about two weeks.
