A procession of Maine State Police vehicles accompanied the body of Detective Ben Campbell as it made its way north from Augusta to Millinocket on Thursday afternoon. The procession came a day after Campbell was struck and killed as he assisted a motorist who had slipped onto the side of I-95 southbound in Hampden.

First responders lined up on highway overpasses along the route between the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta and Millinocket, where Campbell lived with his wife and 6-month-old son, to pay their respects to the detective from the Maine State Police Polygraph Unit.
