Off-Duty NJ State Trooper, Marine Reservist ID’d As Victim In Fiery Greenwich PA Fatal Crash

Off-duty New Jersey state police trooper, Brian McNally, has been identified as the man killed in a fiery Pennsylvania crash Sunday.

McNally, 30, who also served as a Marine Corps reservist, was on his way home from weekend duty when the crash occurred. He was stationed at the NJ State Police Washington barracks in Warren County.

McNally, of Bedminster, NJ., was entering a construction zone eastbound on I-78 in Greenwich when he struck the rear of a slow moving semi-truck around 6:30 p.m.

As McNally approached slowing traffic near a construction zone, authorities say McNally moved from the left lane into the right before rear-ending a tractor-trailer. His vehicle and the rear of the trailer caught fire, and McNally was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. source

The truck driver escaped the crash with minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital for further evaluation.

McNally was pronounced dead at the scene.
