The emotional toll of this job comes in all variety of experiences. Case in point: Juanita Lee was pulled over for speeding around 3 a.m. She stepped out of her car immediately and when the deputy ordered her to return to her car, she gave chase.

50-year-old Lee, of Kalamazoo, Mi., lost the officer but then jumped a curb, flipping the car several times as she was ejected. The car came to a standstill against the train tracks, where the pursuing officer found her dead. It’s not now known whether alcohol was a factor.

Our prayers go out to all involved.
