Mother of Massachusetts Trooper Killed in Crash Sues Saugus Bar Linked to Wrong-Way Driver for $20 Million
The family alleges workers served Hernan Ramon Marrero at least nine drinks and ignored signs of intoxication before the wrong-way crash killed Trooper Kevin Trainor.
- On Thursday, Barbara Trainor filed a $20 million wrongful death lawsuit in Essex Superior Court against Tribu Mexican Kitchen and Bar, alleging the restaurant overserved the intoxicated driver who killed her son, Massachusetts State Police Trooper Kevin Trainor.
- Investigators determined 50-year-old Hernan Marrero drove his Jeep the wrong way on Route 1 in Lynnfield with a 0.192% blood alcohol concentration—more than twice the legal limit—before colliding head-on with Trainor's cruiser early on May 6.
- Surveillance footage revealed staff served Marrero nine drinks—including seven free beverages—over four hours, allegedly ignoring signs of intoxication while manager Herman Zambrano drank alongside him before helping the driver exit shortly before 2 a.m.
- At an Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission hearing on Tuesday, inspectors lodged dozens of counts against the restaurant for serving free 'happy hour' and after-hours drinks; attorney Tracy Firicano stated owners are taking 'corrective steps' regarding staff training.
- While the Essex County District Attorney determined criminal charges against the restaurant were 'not sustainable,' the ABCC is currently reviewing whether to suspend or revoke the establishment's liquor license as the civil lawsuit proceeds toward a requested jury trial.
