Deputy Sheriff Brian Heller was killed in a single-car automobile crash while responding to an assistance call at 10:22 p.m.

Deputy Heller was en route to assist another deputy with a mental patient who was armed with a possible weapon.

Upon impact, the cruiser burst into flames. He was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries a short time later.

Deputy Heller had served with the Worcester County Sheriff's Office for four years and previously served with the Berlin Police Department for three years and Buck's County Sheriff's Department (Pennsylvania) for six years.
