Mamaroneck, NY (WRGB) — A traffic stop along the New York State Thruway in Mamaroneck turned into a chain-reaction crash on March 15, 2026, sending a state trooper to the hospital with minor injuries.
Shortly after 5 a.m., two New York State Police troopers had stopped a 2025 Mercedes sedan on the right shoulder of the Thruway. The Mercedes was driven by 52-year-old from Connecticut.
Troopers were standing near the Mercedes when a 2007 Chevy Suburban, driven by 24-year-old Kevin Ariel Cunache Moyolema of Connecticut, rear-ended the patrol car. The patrol car was pushed into the Mercedes, and the Mercedes then hit one of the troopers.
The trooper was taken to Westchester Medical Center for minor injuries and later released. The other trooper was not hit.
Moyolema was transported to Westchester Medical Center for evaluation of minor body pain. The 52-year-old was evaluated by EMS at the scene and declined transport.
The investigation is continuing.
