Overview
- Trooper Kevin Trainor, 30, died responding minutes after a 2:01 a.m. 911 call Wednesday when a southbound Jeep in the northbound lanes struck his cruiser head-on in Lynnfield.
- The wrong-way driver was identified as Hernan Marrero, 50, of Roslindale, who died at the scene while Trainor was pronounced dead at Massachusetts General Hospital.
- Essex County prosecutors are reviewing surveillance footage to locate where Marrero entered Route 1, and an autopsy will determine whether impairment or a medical issue played a role.
- New videos released Thursday show the Jeep turning into the wrong lanes, passing a dealership, and a garbage truck’s 2:02 a.m. dashcam capturing a horn blast and a 911 call moments before the crash.
- Following a dignified transfer Thursday night, the family announced a Tuesday wake and a Wednesday funeral Mass in Salem, as mourners left flowers at the Danvers barracks and donations for his relatives passed $63,000.
