On September 25, 1925, 24-year-old Trooper Phillip E. Gonterman tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident at the intersection of Jefferson and Hubble Streets in the village of Pulaski.
Trooper Gonterman, a dedicated and experienced officer with two years of service, was in hot pursuit of a stolen vehicle when a second car unexpectedly emerged from a side street, obstructing his path.
In a split-second decision to avoid a collision, Trooper Gonterman skillfully swerved his motorcycle, but unfortunately lost control and collided with a tree.
The impact was fatal, and Trooper Gonterman was killed instantly.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers and sacrifices that law enforcement officers face in the line of duty.
