The Camden County Hero Scholarship Fund remembers Sergeant Theodore J. "Ted" Moos, from the New Jersey State Police, who made the ultimate sacrifice on this day, February 27, 1987.
On January 29, 1987, Sergeant Moos was assisting a State Trooper with the investigation of a motor vehicle accident. He was diverting northbound traffic from the right lane of State Highway 42 at Mile Post 14.1 in Bellmawr Borough, Camden County. He had a flare in his hand to signal northbound traffic. A northbound vehicle in the right lane struck a wrecker parked on the shoulder of the highway and then struck Sergeant Moos. He was taken to the Cooper Hospital Trauma Unit where he died on February 27th, 1987.
