Herring was riding his motorcycle south on Northwest 184th Avenue on Thursday when he was struck by a palm frond that had dislodged from a tree, causing the officer to lose control of the motorcycle and be subsequently ejected.

The 54-year-old had been with the PPPD for over 20 years, serving with the department since 2002.

He was the first Pembroke Pines police officer to die in the line of duty.
