How they died
Vehic/Purs
Officer Mark Gau, 47, drove his police cruiser out of the driveway of a Shell gas station. His cruiser turned west onto Ohio 49 near Hoke Road and collided with Payne's motorcycle, which was traveling east on Ohio 49. Payne died weeks later. Gau later quit his job, claiming PTSD, which is not an unusual reaction when an law enforcement officer kills someone accidentally or in the line of duty.
