Army captain's death shocks Bridport

The town of Bridport is recovering from the death of one its volunteer firefighters and army captains. Captain Luke Yustin died of injuries after a motorcycle accident in Texas Saturday. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. The Bridport volunteer fire station had a black ribbon over one of its doors over the weekend. Yards away, a town flag flew at half staff.
Peter Brakeley was Yustin's football coach at Middlebury Union High School; he said Yustin had many standout qualities. After Yustin's funeral tomorrow, the Bridport volunteer fire department has plans to honor him.
