This morning, while monitoring traffic at the I-93 HOV lane in Charlestown, Trooper Todd Glidden noticed a “passenger” in a vehicle who just didn’t seem right. Trooper Glidden motioned for the driver to pull over, but he kept driving.
Trooper Kevin O’Brien, who was working enforcement at the opposite end of the HOV lane, also motioned for the driver to pull over…. he still didn’t.
Trooper Glidden located and stopped the driver a short distance away. The driver, a 44-year-old man from Reading, was cited for the HOV violation and failure to stop for a police officer.
Please remember, the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane is for two or more (actual) human beings.
