Firefighter William Scott Tanksley

A Dallas firefighter killed in the line of duty was honored on Monday at a funeral service.

William Scott Tanksley, 40, was hit by a car last week while working a wreck on an icy overpass and knocked over the guardrail at the I-20/Spur 408 Interchange in Southwest Dallas.

More than 1,000 people, mostly firefighters, attended the funeral service at the Terrell ISD Performing Arts Center on Monday morning.
