Trial Ordered For Woman Accused Of Killing Troopers On I-95 In Philly

PHILADELPHIA — A Montgomery County woman accused of striking and killing two Pennsylvania State Police troopers and a pedestrian in March 2022 will stand trial.

Janaya Webb, 22, of Eagleville, is scheduled for a trial on Dec. 4, court records show.

She is charged with murder, homicide by vehicle while DUI, second-degree manslaughter of law enforcement officers, and other crimes.

The charges stem from a March 21, 2022 incident on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia.

Authorities allege Webb was under the influence of alcohol when she struck and killed Pennsylvania State Troopers Branden Sisca, 29 and Martin Mack III, 33, as well as pedestrian Reyes Rivera Oliveras, 28, of Allentown, on March 21.

Webb was released on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022, after posting 10 percent of $600,000 bail.

Mack and Sisca pulled Webb over for speeding and were with her for less than a minute before they were dispatched to another part of the highway near the Philadelphia sports complexes for a report of a pedestrian on the road.

Mack and Sisca found the man, identified as Oliveras, when they arrived.

When they were trying to get Oliveras into their vehicle, another vehicle sped up to the scene and struck the three, sending Mack and Sisca over the median and onto the northbound lanes of I-95.

When backup arrived, troopers found witnesses giving CPR to the victims, but they were pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities said Webb remained at the scene after the crash.

Mack enlisted in the Pennsylvania State Police in November 2014 and graduated as a member of the 141st cadet class. Sisca enlisted in the Pennsylvania State Police in February 2021 and graduated as a member of the 161st cadet class.

Both troopers spent their entire careers assigned to the Patrol Section of Troop K, Philadelphia.

Mack, a resident of Bristol in Bucks County, left behind a wife and two children.

Sisca, who served as the chief of the Trappe Fire Company No. 1 in Trappe Borough, is the son of Craig Sisca, a 10-year member of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. He's survived by his wife, who is expecting a child.

Patch previously spoke with members of the Trappe Fire Co. who continue to mourn their chief's loss.

Sisca had only just graduated from the Pennsylvania State Police Academy last August, and he made fire chief at the volunteer department in January. He just got married last September.
