Massachusetts Honors Fallen Trooper Kevin Trainor as Wrong-Way Crash Probe Continues

Governor Healey ordered a review of wrong-way detection technology after the Lynnfield collision.

Overview

  • Trooper Kevin Trainor, 30, died early Wednesday after a head-on crash with a wrong-way Jeep on Route 1 in Lynnfield.
  • The driver, Hernan Marrero, 50, also died, and the Essex district attorney’s office is reviewing video evidence while toxicology results remain pending.
  • Trainor’s mother and four siblings attended Friday’s State House memorial, where officials said his name will be added to the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial.
  • A ceremonial procession brought his body to a Peabody funeral home, with a public wake Tuesday and a funeral Mass Wednesday at St. James Church in Salem.
  • Governor Maura Healey met with transportation leaders to examine wrong-way detection systems, a step that could lead to broader roadside alerts on high-risk routes.
