Baltimore County Police officers wore a mourning band on their badge on Wednesday in memory of a fallen colleague.
On Dec. 9, 1969, Officer Edward Kuznar died as a result of a traffic accident.
While on traffic patrol near Kingsville, Kuznar was hit head on by a driver who crossed the center line and crashed into his police car.
Both the officer and the driver of the other vehicle were killed.
Kuznar’s name, along with the names of other fallen heroes, is inscribed on a monument at Patriot Plaza in Towson.
