It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I inform you of the passing of one of our own. Master Trooper Steven J. Perry has passed away from an on-duty traffic collision while working in Durham County. Initial indications are that early this morning he was struck head-on by a wrong-way driver while traveling on NC-147. The other involved driver is also deceased from the traffic collision.

Trooper Perry was a member of the 148th Basic Patrol School and has served Durham County throughout his nearly 7-year career. During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and fellow troopers who had the privilege of serving alongside him. We ask that you keep the entirety of his family and our Patrol Family in your thoughts.

We would like to thank the Durham County Emergency Medical Services, Durham Fire Department, Durham Police Department and the North Carolina Department of Transportation IMAP Division for their extensive assistance at the scene of this crash.

With the snow stopping and temperatures dropping overnight, please be aware the roads will be treacherous. Please stay home if you do not need to be out driving. Please be safe and enjoy this snow from the warmth of home. Check on your neighbors and stay bundled if playing outside.

As severe winter weather moves through our area, please take a moment to slow down, stay off the roads if you can, and use extra caution if you must travel.

We also encourage everyone to check on elderly neighbors, friends, or anyone who may need a little extra help during the cold. A quick call or knock can make a big difference.

Stay safe, stay warm, and look out for one another.
