William R. Sellers.
Patrolman Williams Sellers was killed in a motorcycle crash when the front wheel of his police motorcycle fell off. Around 1:30 p.m., Patrolman Sellers was driving on the Northern State Parkway east of Glen Cove Road when the wheel of his motorcycle began to move. As he tried to straighten it, the wheel fell off, and he flipped over the cycle, landing on the road. He was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries ten hours later. Patrolman Sellers was a United States Army Air Force World War II veteran and had served with the Nassau County Police Department for six years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Patrolman Sellers gave the Nassau County Police Department 6 years.
Thank you for your service to the Mineola community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
