Trooper Cody Donahue was struck and killed while responding to a crash on Interstate 25. The donut shop owner told CBS4 Donahue and his daughters were regulars at their bakery.

"Cody's sister-in-law came in Saturday morning -- the day after -- and said they had asked the daughters, 'What do you want for breakfast? You can have anything you want the next day,'" said Jim Samaras, Lora's Donuts and Bakery owner. "The two little girls said they wanted Lora's donuts."
