A Dallas police officer died Friday when his motorcycle struck a curb on the Houston Street viaduct as he was escorting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to a rally in Oak Cliff.
"One of our motorcycle jockeys rounded the curb, hit the curb, and went down," said Lt. Vernon Hale, spokesman for the Dallas Police Department.
The officer's motorcycle was near the rear of the motorcade as it headed south on the viaduct when the accident happened about 9:20 a.m.
Police identified the officer as Senior Cpl. Victor Lozada, 49, a 20-year veteran of the department.
"There are no routine jobs in this business," Lt. Hale said. "It is a dangerous job."
"He was just a very caring police officer who loved his job, loved the Dallas Police Department and tried to do the right thing."

Senior Cpl. Victor Lozada
Pingeroo!
Weird, there has been a couple of motorcycle cops killed, either protecting the President or a candidate.
Was it near the grassy knoll, first reported it was a woman.
Last year, a police officer was killed while escorting a motorcade for President George W. Bush in Albuquerque, N.M. There was a similar fatal crash involving a presidential motorcade in Hawaii in 2006
Damn. RIP, Officer.
Prayers for the officer’s family and hopes that the anti-immigration crowd will stay away from this thread.
Sad part is that Hillary does not give a rip and will have some false sympathy. She and Bill treated her SS detail like trash.
I would say that the sad part is that a brave man sworn to protect died in a horrible accident.
Now may not be the best time to try to score a point or two on Hillary.
Yes, to her they are just “trained pigs”. Sweet little Chelsea called them the same thing.

What did he know about Hillary???
Tin foil had alert!
You are correct.
“Now may not be the best time to try to score a point or two on Hillary.”
For many around here all the world is seen through the prism of Hillary Hate.
As are two peace officers that escorted President Bush.
Prayers for the officer and his family.
