A New Jersey police captain was critically injured after he was struck on his motorcycle while leading a funeral procession.

Capt. William Boggier was taken to University Hospital's intensive care unit in Newark after the crash during a procession Tuesday in Middlesex County, NJ.com reports (https://www.nj.com/essex/2019/07/nj-police-captain-critically-injured-in-motorcycle-crash-while-leading-funeral-procession.html).

Orange police say the 58-year-old has life-threatening injuries.

Andrea Boulton, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex County Prosecutor's office, says it's unclear how and when the accident happened or who the funeral was for.

Robin Lavorato, a coordinator of the Essex County Opioid Task Force, says Boggier has been active in the county's fight against opioid addiction.

Lavorato says Boggier is not only a "well-respected law enforcement officer," but also a "devoted husband and dad" to his two daughters.

"It's the gift that just keeps on giving Clark..."  Cap's back on blood thinners and is scheduled for CT for suspected pulmonary emboli.  Ok, that's enough.  I call B.S.  How much more can one person take? 

Sorry for the complaining.  If I'm sick of this, HE must be at his wit's end. 😡
