K9 and Trooper Released After being Rear ended in Hopkinton

The Massachusetts State Police K9 Unit Trooper whose cruiser was struck yesterday on Route 495 in Hopkinton, and his K9 partner, were both released from their respective hospitals today after being held overnight for tests and observation.

Trooper Kenneth Hanchett, 37, and his partner, Orry, were both injured when their marked Ford Explorer was struck from behind by a driver who was operating in the breakdown lane at 1:44 PM Monday. Both suffered potentially serious injuries but were in good condition today, allowing for their release from the hospitals.

At the time of the crash, Trooper Hanchett was on a detail with emergency lights activated, protecting a road crew in the breakdown lane on the southbound side of the highway. Both the Trooper and his partner were in the cruiser when it was struck.

Trooper Hanchett called in the crash himself over the radio; other Troopers, including other members of the K9 Unit, along with Fire Department and EMS companies, responded to the scene.
