NYPD officers honored the late Detective Anastasios Tsakos Wednesday one year after he was struck and killed while in the line of duty by a drunk driver.

Members of the NYPD Highway Patrol held a candle lighting and moment of silence in his honor, writing on Twitter that he will be forever in their hearts.

Tsakos was directing traffic away from a deadly crash on the Long Island Expressway in Queens on April 27 last year when investigators say Jessica Beauvais, of Hempstead, was driving drunk with a suspended license and struck him.

Former NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea posthumously promoted Tsakos to detective first grade at his funeral in Greenlawn.

Beauvais was denied bail in a hearing last year. Her next appearance at the Queens Supreme Court is on May 12.
