On September 2, 2010 at approximately 1600 hours, Connecticut State Police Trooper First Class Kenneth R. Hall was seated in his cruiser, parked on the shoulder of I-91 northbound in Enfield, conducting a traffic stop during a statewide commercial vehicle safety initiative. A pick-up truck was traveling northbound in the left lane of I-91 at a very high rate of speed. The pick-up truck veered to the right across three lanes of traffic and struck TFC Hall’s cruiser. Trooper First Class Hall sustained multiple injuries and was transported to Bay State Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, where he was pronounced deceased.
