Funeral for fallen trooper

Funeral services were held today for a New York State trooper killed in an on-duty crash last week.

The memorial was held in Jefferson County where Trooper David Lane grew up.

Lane died last Wednesday in a car crash in the town of Catskill where he was stationed. Authorities say his patrol car hit a utility pole after he tried to pass another vehicle.

Lane was a four year veteran of the State Police. He also served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division.

Lane is survived by his parents, brother and fiance.
