Hundreds of Massachusetts State Troopers gather for Tamar Bucci’s wake
The 34-year-old was killed when a tanker truck crashed into her cruiser on I-93. She was trying to help a disabled vehicle on the side of the road.
Massachusetts State Trooper Tamar Bucci lost her life in the line of duty late Thursday night. She was attempting to help a stopped motorist when her cruiser was struck by an oil tanker, causing her to be pushed off the road.
The incident occurred around 11:45 p.m., and an unknown amount of time later she was pulled from her damaged SUV by two good Samaritans. A Stoneham police officer later performed CPR until she was brought to Massachusetts General Hospital. She was later pronounced dead, according to State Police Col. Christopher Mason.
On Tuesday, troopers, officers, and other emergency personnel gathered for Bucci’s wake.
