A regimental funeral is underway for an Alberta RCMP officer who died while driving to assist fellow officers.

Const. Harvinder Singh Dhami, a member of the Strathcona County detachment east of Edmonton, was killed in a crash while responding to a noise complaint April 10.

Mounties have said his vehicle hit a large concrete barrier.

Dozens of people lined streets in Sherwood Park as hundreds of police officers marched toward a local recreation centre for the service.

Members of Dhami’s family stood outside and watched as his casket, wrapped in the Canadian flag, was carried inside.
