"North Carolina suffered a tragedy when a state trooper was killed in the line of duty in a traffic crash," said Governor Josh Stein. "Master Trooper Steven Perry dedicated his career to keeping people in Durham County safe. Please join me in keeping his loved ones and the law enforcement community in our thoughts and prayers.
