25 Investigates: Prosecutors say troopers knew about alcohol in Scott Quigley crash

New court filings in the criminal case against former Massachusetts State Police Detective Scott Quigley reveal fellow troopers knew he had been drinking before a fatal 2023 crash and kept that information to themselves.
The explosive details come from paperwork filed by a special prosecutor in Middlesex Superior Court, where in April Quigley pleaded not guilty to felony motor vehicle homicide in connection with a Dec. 12, 2023, head-on collision on Lexington Street in Woburn. The crash killed 37-year-old wheelchair van passenger Angelo Schettino of Saugus.
“If these guys knew and didn’t say anything, obviously there’s a cover-up,” said Lynn-based attorney Michael Mahoney.

Video Summary
AI GeneratedProsecutors allege State Trooper Scott Quigley caused a fatal crash in Woburn after drinking martinis. New court filings suggest a \"blue wall of silence\" existed, as co-workers allegedly hid Quigley's intoxication. The initial investigation is described as flawed and potentially designed to protect Quigley, leading to a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit by the victim's family.
