Trooper Charged In 2023 Woburn Crash Gets Another Penalty: Reports

WOBURN, MA — A state trooper has received another sharp penalty in connection with a car crash that killed a man two years ago in Woburn.

The POST Commission, a Massachusetts agency overseeing state law enforcement, has suspended the certification of Sgt. Scott Quigley, according to multiple reports.

Quigley, 41, was behind the wheel of a cruiser that collided head-on with a van in December 2023. A passenger died in the crash and the driver was injured. Medical reports later showed the trooper’s blood alcohol content was above the legal limit.

Quigley was recently indicted on a charge of motor vehicle homicide and suspended from work in January. The legal case is still pending.

On Monday, the Massachusetts Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission suspended Quigley’s state certification, which is necessary for sworn police officers to perform their jobs in the commonwealth.

Quigley has denied that he was impaired at the time of the crash, and expressed doubt about the blood alcohol measurements.
