Police officer injured while escorting President Bush dies

US President George Bush sent his condolences to the family of a police officer who died less than a week after three police motorcycles crashed while escorting his motorcade in Honolulu.

Steve Favela, 30, and two other officers crashed as the president’s motorcade travelled across Hickam Air Force Base to meet troops for breakfast on Tuesday. Light rain had been falling, and some roads on the base were slick.
