Summary
A Massachusetts State Police trooper was injured early Saturday when a drunk 28-year-old, Jose Santiago, drove the wrong way on I-91, crashing into the cruiser and another vehicle. Despite a rolling roadblock, Santiago swerved into a K-9 unit before hitting a passenger car — all while impaired. The trooper and K-9 suffered non-life-threatening injuries, as did the other driver. This marks the third time a trooper has been struck by a wrong-way driver since May, highlighting the daily risks law enforcement faces. Santiago faces multiple charges, including DUI, and Massachusetts is expanding its wrong-way driver detection system to prevent future tragedies. Troopers’ quick actions are being praised as they continue to enforce road safety and hold reckless drivers accountable.
