LINCOLN PARK, MI (AP)— A Michigan State Police officer will be taken off life support after his vehicle was rear-ended last week while parked along I-75 near Detroit. Daniel Kerstetter worked for the state police Motor Carrier Division, which keeps an eye on trucks and other commercial vehicles.

With hospital staff and officers standing all around her, tears on faces and noses red, the wife of Michigan State Police Motor Carrier Officer Daniel Kerstetter craned her neck up toward the sky for a moment with her eyes closed. Then she walked towards the flag-covered casket.

A Michigan State Police motor carrier officer has died from injuries he sustained Friday when his vehicle was struck by another car along I-75, pinning it under a semi. MSP officials confirm to 7 News Detroit that Officer Daniel Kerstetter was removed from life support after the decision was made about organ donation.
