The Taylor County Sheriff's Office mourns the loss of Corrections Officer William L. "Bill" Woodruff, killed in an automobile accident last night north of Abilene.

Sheriff Ricky Bishop said Woodruff's family is "in the thoughts and prayers of this office," and that his (Woodruff's) granddaughter who was also injured and is being treated in a Fort Worth hospital "needs all the prayers she can get, now." 

"The death of Bill Woodruff is not only a loss for this agency," Bishop said, "but for area law enforcement as well."
