Mass. man charged in fiery highway crash that killed Penn. trooper
- On Wednesday, Massachusetts truck driver Michael Bon, 33, struck and killed Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Michael Pahira Jr., 44, during a commercial vehicle inspection on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County.
- Federal authorities identified Bon as a Haitian national in the U.S. illegally since June 2025; he is held in Schuylkill County Prison on $700,000 bail facing charges including homicide by vehicle.
- Investigators say Bon's truck struck Pahira's patrol vehicle and an inspected tractor-trailer, pinning the trooper beneath the bumper; construction workers pulled him from the wreckage and moved him about 30 yards away.
- Governor Josh Shapiro and the Fraternal Order of Police honored Pahira, who served over 20 years and was called a "devoted" uncle, brother and son by family members.
- The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles cited federal standards when approving Bon's commercial license; a new federal rule implemented March 16 now restricts states from issuing similar non-domiciled licenses.
