State Trooper Killed in Crash

(WBZ) A Massachusetts State Trooper was killed Friday when his motorcycle crashed inside the I-93 tunnel in downtown Boston.

State Police identified the fallen trooper as Vincent Cila, a 22-year veteran of the force. He leaves behind a wife and two children.

We're told Trooper Cila was driving with another motorcycle trooper on the ramp from The Mass Pike West to I-93 South, when he crashed.

The ramps connecting 93 and Congress Street had to be closed, as did the ramps connecting the Ted Williams Tunnel to 93, and the ramps connecting the Pike to 93.

Trooper Cila was taken to Boston Medical Center and later pronounced dead.

Vincent Cila is the first Massachusetts State Trooper killed in the line of duty since 1995.

His parents were the landlords of my teacher at school. She said she had known him for 20+ years.

I guess he was driving damaged MSP motorcycles to some place to get fixed or something when one of the tires gave out and the motorcycle fell on top of him and broke his neck.

She thinks there will be a lawsuit on the matter.

I am told that he leaves behind two daughters and his wife. The ages of his daughters are 10 and 12.
