LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Nevada State Police and NDOT are honoring the lives of two of their own after they were tragically killed in a DUI crash late last year.
Sgt. Michael Abbate and Trooper Alberto Felix will now be recognized on our state roadways. The agency unveiled two memorial signs in honor of the fallen heroes.
The destinations serve as special places for both men. Trooper Felix’s sign is located near Craig Road and Nellis Air Force Base representing his time serving in the US Air Force. Sgt. Abbate’s sign is near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, recognizing his racing days and contributions as the department’s leading emergency vehicle driver instructor.
Just last week, a judge sentenced the man who pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and killing the troopers. He will face 16-40 years in prison.
