Trooper Tamar Bucci

The commander of the Massachusetts State Police said Friday that a trooper was killed late Thursday.

A trooper with her blue lights on was struck by a tanker carrying 10,000 gallons of gasoline after she pulled over on I-93 to help a disabled vehicle.

She died at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

After finishing her training in May 2020, Bucci was based at the Brookfield barracks. According to state police, her assignment was moved to Medford last month.

Trooper Bucci died trying to help another person in distress late last night on a stretch of road she protected every night on the midnight shift. Mason said that there is no greater act of sacrifice than to give one's life for another.

Two people stopped at the scene and pulled her out of her car before the officer arrived.

Despite the heroic efforts of the citizens, the Stoneham officer, the Armstrong ambulance crew and the emergency staff at MGH, Trooper Bucci was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

The flags at state buildings have been lowered to half-staff.

There is no greater sacrifice than giving your life in service of others.

Bucci was assigned to the barracks. She is the 22nd trooper to die in the line of duty.

She worked as a personal trainer and as a security guard before joining the state police. She was a graduate of two high schools. Her parents, two sisters, a stepsister and a stepbrother are survivors.

We are determined to continue our mission to protect and serve by following the example set by Trooper Bucci, who was tragically killed in the line of duty.

Mason said that the driver of the tanker was cooperating with police. The woman driving the disabled vehicle was taken to the hospital for an evaluation. The names were not released.

The investigation is still going on.
