"A garbage truck driver sees the wrong-way driver heading south in the northbound lanes in the Lynnfield tunnel, blares his horn and calls 911. A new video reportedly shows the man driving the wrong way on Route 1 in Lynnfield just minutes before his vehicle collided with a State Police cruiser, killing 30-year-old State Trooper Kevin Trainor and himself."
"The video, obtained by Boston 25 News, shows a garbage truck driver seeing the wrong-way driver heading south in the northbound lanes in the Lynnfield tunnel. The driver blares his horn and picks up his phone to call 911 to report the wrong-way Jeep. Even though his shift ended at 2 a.m., Trainor was among several officers who responded around 2 a.m. to reports of the wrong-way driver."
"The timestamp of the video is 2:02 a.m., according to the news station. Just two minutes later, the Jeep, driven by 50-year-old Hernan Marrero of Roslindale, collided head-on with Trainor's cruiser. Both men died in the crash. Trainor, a field training officer, had served as a state trooper for three years."
"Gov. Maura Healey ordered the US flag and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag lowered to half-staff at all buildings to honor and remember the fallen trooper. An online fundraiser supporting his family had raised more than $63,000 as of Thursday evening."
