Woman Charged In Crash That Killed 2 PA State Police Troopers

PHILADELPHIA — Murder, DUI, and related charges have been filed against a woman in connection with the crash that killed 2 Pennsylvania State Police troopers as well and a pedestrian in South Philadelphia Monday morning.

Pennsylvania State Police said Jayana Tanae Webb, 21, of Eagleville, Montgomery County, is charged with three counts each of third-degree murder, homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter, and recklessly endangering another person.

She is also charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter of a law enforcement officer, driving under the influence, and various traffic violations.

The charges stem from an incident that took the lives of state troopers Martin F. Mack III, 33, and Branden T. Sisca, 29, as well as Reyes Rivera Oliveras, 28, of Allentown, at about 12:45 a.m. Monday on Interstate 95 south, just before the Philadelphia sports complexes.

Mack and Sisca were called to the area for a report of a person on the highway and 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.

Gov. Tom Wolf ordered the commonwealth flag to fly at half staff on all commonwealth facilities, public buildings, and grounds.

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.
