closeState Highway Patrol Trooper Andrew Stocks, a military veteran who died in a car wreck in September, was buried Monday in Arlington National Cemetery.
Stocks was on his way to help those involved in a car accident near Wake Technical Community College on Sept. 9 when his car slid into the path of a garbage truck. He died in an ambulance as emergency workers rushed him to the hospital.
Stocks grew up in Wake County and graduated from Cary High School in 1983. He join-ed the Highway Patrol in April 2004 after leaving the military, where he had served as a Marine in Afghanistan and with the U.S. Army Reserve in Iraq. He and his wife, Liane, had one child.
