Suspected Drunk Driver Rolls Over, Hits 2 State Police Cruisers

CHICOPEE, MA — Massachusetts State Police arrested a man for drunk driving after he hit two cruisers while they investigated a drug suspect overnight. It happened on Route 91 north in Chicopee around midnight.

Ryan Churilo, 29, of East Windsor, Conn. allegedly lost control of 2020 Subaru Forester after being involved in a crash in the middle lane. His car “began rolling over as it careened toward the two MSP Ford Explorer Interceptors parked in the breakdown lane,” state police said.

“The rolling Forester first struck the left driver and passenger doors of the MSP K9 cruiser, then continued to roll approximately 20 more feet, where it crashed into the rear of, and came to rest up against, the patrol trooper’s cruiser. At the time of the crash, two men who had been in the car that was initially stopped were sitting in the rear of the patrol cruiser, having just been evaluated by the Troopers.”

Neither the troopers nor the men outside were hurt. A K-9 who was in the cruiser was distressed and needed to be taken to a veterinary hospital for evaluation but was not seriously hurt.
