Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Dan Shragal, 48, recently shared the story about the loss of his daughter, 22-year-old Kirstin Burton, in an emotional interview with WXIN-TV.

According to the New York Daily News, an alleged drunken driver in a pickup truck struck Burton in Dayton, Ohio. Burton's car crashed into a tree, killing her and critically injuring her 14-month-old son, Orion, who was in the back seat.

"I was furious that the one I couldn't get my hands on took my daughter," Shragal told WXIN.

"I'm blessed that the last words I said to my daughter were, 'I love you, Sunshine,' and she said, 'I love you too, Daddy,'" he told WXIN.

A GoFundMe page has been started to collect donations for the family. Click here to learn more.
