While working third shift, Officer Cantara was assisting the NCSHP by blocking a lane of travel in his marked police car, due to an accident on Interstate I-85.

It was a horrific collision and Officer Cantara was lucky to survive it. As a result of this terrible crash, Steve suffered significant internal injuries. Due to the severity of the internal injuries, he battles daily to return to the person he was before the accident. As a result of the severity of his injuries from this horrific crash, he will, unfortunately, never be able to return to active duty.
