Cinnaminson PD Honors PA State Troopers Killed In Line Of Duty

CINNAMINSON TOWNSHIP, NJ – The Cinnaminson Police Department, like many other law enforcement agencies around the region, is remembering two state troopers who were killed while helping a civilian early Monday morning.

The civilian also died as a result of the incident.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of two Pennsylvania State Troopers and the civilian they were helping on I-95 in Philadelphia,” a post on the department's Facebook page read. “Our hearts are with their families, friends and colleagues at this extremely difficult time. We are grateful to the troopers for their lives of service, which they were demonstrating even as this tragic accident occurred. May they rest in peace.”

The post is accompanied by the Pennsylvania State Police logo and a black and blue striped ribbon across its center. Some police departments and law enforcement agencies wear upon the death of an active law enforcement officer, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page website.

Mack and Sisca were helping a man into their police car when all three were struck and killed along Interstate 95 near the Philadelphia stadiums and arena early Monday morning, authorities said. The civilian has not yet been identified.

The striking driver, who has also not been identified, remained at the scene of the crash, authorities said. The accident is being investigated as a DUI, authorities continued.
