Brian Berry, 43, a Massachusetts State Trooper, was hurt in a crash that was reportedly caused by a drunk driver early Sunday morning on I-93 in Quincy, according to The Boston Globe. Wayne Leduc, 40, of Milton was allegedly under the influence of alcohol when he crashed into Berry’s cruiser that had been parked on I-93. Berry had just pulled over a Cambridge driver in a separate incident. The impact from Leduc’s vehicle forced the cruiser into Berry, who had been standing at the front of the cruiser, and resulted in injuries to Berry’s legs. Berry is in stable condition currently at a Boston area hospital. Leduc was promptly arrested and was in Quincy District Court to face a number of charges today.

This amount is lower for drivers younger than 21 and for individuals who operate commercials trucks. An OUI conviction for a driver in the Commonwealth could potentially result in fines anywhere from $500 to $5,000, as well as a prison sentence of two years or more.
