Funeral to be held for Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. after being killed on I-81 in Schuylkill County
Michael Bon faces 10 charges after the crash that killed Trooper Michael Pahira Jr., and ICE has lodged a detainer request.
- On Wednesday, Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. died after a fiery crash on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County when a tractor-trailer driven by Michael Bon struck him during a commercial vehicle inspection.
- Federal authorities report Bon has been in the United States illegally since June 2025, though the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles claims he was eligible for a non-domiciled commercial license under federal standards.
- Responders pulled Pahira from beneath the wreckage, but he was pronounced dead at Lehigh Valley Hospital; the 44-year-old trooper served Pennsylvania State Police for over 20 years and was called 'devoted' by family.
- Facing homicide and related charges, Bon is being held at Schuylkill County Prison on $700,000 bail while U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer request on Thursday to apprehend him after trial.
- Acting Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis labeled the crash '100% preventable,' citing reckless policies regarding non-domiciled licenses. Bis added, 'Illegal aliens should not be driving trucks on America's highways.
