The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is mourning the tragic and heroic loss of Trooper Kevin Trainor, 30, a dedicated member of the Massachusetts State Police who lost his life in the line of duty during a wrong-way crash early Wednesday morning, May 6, 2026.

Authorities report that the devastating incident occurred around 2:00 a.m. on Route 1 in Lynnfield. Trooper Trainor had been responding to urgent reports of a wrong-way driver traveling along the highway.
