A Massachusetts State Police sergeant has been indicted by a statewide grand jury on a charge of felony motor vehicle homicide, the Suffolk Country District Attorney announced Thursday.
The indictment alleges Scott Quigley was drunk driving negligently when he crashed his unmarked cruiser into a van head-on in Woburn in December 2023.
A 37-year-old man with developmental challenges, who used a wheelchair, was injured in the crash. He died a month later.
The driver of the van was also hurt.
7NEWS obtained state police bodycam video of the crash from a defense attorney in another case Quigley investigated. That attorney alleges Quigley’s role in the crash and how it was investigated could impact his client’s case. That trial is now on hold as a result.
In a statement, Massachusetts State Police Col. Geoffrey Noble wrote in part, “The Massachusetts State Police will not tolerate the disturbing misconduct alleged in today’s indictment…I expect and demand that our members understand their responsibility to act with the highest level of integrity, professionalism, and respect for the law. Anything short of that standard will be met with a thorough investigation and meaningful accountability.”
The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said more information about the case should be revealed in court at a later date.
