While using his whistle to get the vehicle through traffic he lost his balance and fell to the street after the vehicle struck a rut in the roadway. He was taken to the Frankford Hospital where he succumbed to his head injury.

Officer Lloyd,
On today, the 81st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USN during WW I.
