State trooper killed by wrong-way driver in Lynnfield crash, officials say
The driver, who was heading south in the northbound lanes on Route 1, died at the scene, police say.
www.boston.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- A Massachusetts State Police trooper, Kevin Trainor, was killed in a crash early Wednesday in Lynnfield when the other vehicle, traveling the wrong way on Route 1, collided with his cruiser. The other driver also died at the scene. This follows a 911 report of a wrong-way driver in the area.[3][4]
- Trainor, 30, was a three-year veteran based out of the Danvers barracks and had served as a field training officer, frequently described as dedicated to public safety. Authorities, including Governor Maura Healey and MSP leadership, expressed deep condolences and pledged support for Trainor’s family and colleagues.[5][7][3]
Would you like a brief timeline of events as reported and a summary of official statements, or a linkable roundup of the main local outlets covering this incident? I can also pull a short list of memorial arrangements if that’s helpful.
