## Resource

A state police trooper, Michael Pahira Junior, died in the line of duty after being struck by a second truck while inspecting a tractor-trailer on I-81. The collision sent him pinned under the wreckage, and both vehicles caught fire. Rescuers pulled him from the debris, but he succumbed to his injuries — a 20-year veteran who gave his life protecting others. The driver, Michael Bon, now faces homicide by vehicle and involuntary manslaughter charges. The force and community mourn a true hero.
