State Police Investigate Crash on Route 1A in E. Boston
Preliminary investigation by Sergeant Stephen Viola indicates that Trooper Shawn McIntyre attempted to stop a 1999 Lexus ES300 on Route 16 in Revere because he believed the driver was operating on a suspended license and had several outstanding warrants for his arrest. The driver refused to stop and a pursuit ensued onto Route 1A South in East Boston. As the Lexus neared the intersection of Route 145, it traveled into the breakdown lane and struck three vehicles, a 1992 Toyota Camry, a 1995 Mitsubishi Gallant and a 2006 Volvo XC 90, which were waiting for the traffic light to change. As a result of the collision, the suspect vehicle rolled over in the roadway.
The suspect driver, 32-year-old Kevin Kilgallen of Peabody, was placed under arrest for: Failing to Stop for a Police Officer, Operating After Suspension, and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle. Additionally, Kilgallen had several outstanding warrants for his arrest. He was transported to Whidden Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. His adult female passenger, 27-year-old Hillary Kulunis, was transported to Mass General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The driver of the Volvo, 21-year-old Brittany Clippanger of Monroe, NC, was transported to Mass General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The other two drivers, 40-year-old Michael Durfee of Lynn and 18-year-old Melissa Keough of North Weymouth, were uninjured in the crash.
Boston Police, Fire and EMS all assisted at the scene.
