Solemn Procession Honors Fallen Massachusetts State Police Trooper Kevin Trainor

Authorities said the wrong-way driver also died, and a fundraiser for Trainor’s family has raised more than $42,000 toward its goal.

  • Early Wednesday, Massachusetts State Trooper Kevin Trainor, 30, died after his cruiser was struck on Route 1 in Lynnfield by wrong-way driver Hernan Marrero, 50, who also perished in the collision.
  • Trainor, a field training officer, was responding to reports of the wrong-way vehicle when the crash occurred; his aunt, Ann Khader, noted he 'really did potentially save many lives' by intervening.
  • Court records reveal Marrero faced significant financial difficulties for years, including legal disputes over unpaid rent exceeding $11,000, though authorities have not issued a statement regarding his direction of travel.
  • Gov. Maura Healey ordered flags at all buildings lowered to half-staff to honor the fallen trooper, with a wake scheduled Tuesday at Conway, Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home and funeral services Wednesday at St. James Church.
  • The Greg Hill Foundation has raised more than $42,000 for the family, nearing its $50,000 goal in two days, while fiancée Jessica Ostrowski wrote on Instagram, 'There are absolutely no words to describe losing you.
