Pell City, Alabama officer hurt in wreck dies
A Pell City police officer injured last month when a tractor-trailer hit his patrol car died Friday.
Greg Surles, 29, died Friday morning at University Hospital, said hospital spokesman Troy Goodman.
Surles, a six-year veteran of the Pell City Police Department, had become the center of a community fundraising effort after his accident on June 18. Friends had staged a benefit walk, a blood drive was planned and police from other towns had offered to fill in so his fellow officers could visit him in the hospital.
