“Around 9am a Trooper from H-7 SP Milton was conducting a traffic stop on Route 24 area of Avon. A second Trooper who is assigned a motorcycle unit but was in a fully marked Ford Explorer, pulled up behind the traffic stop to provide assistance as well as additional lights.
As Troopers were conducting their stop, a vehicle slowed down in the right hand travel lane and a second vehicle, which was traveling at an excessive, high rate of speed, swerved to avoid them and crashed into the cruiser.
Thankfully, the second Trooper who arrived was able to alert everyone on scene of the incoming vehicle and they avoided being struck themselves.
This is, yet again, another prime example of why all drivers must SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER when approaching an emergency vehicle.”-State Police Association of Massachusetts.
