Michael Bon, 33, of Brockton, Massachusetts, faces felony vehicular homicide and other charges after his tractor trailer veered off Interstate 81 early on July 1 and caused the crash that killed Trooper Michael Pahira.
Pahira, a 20-year state police veteran, was conducting a routine commercial inspection in Cass Twp.
Bon, who was issued a CDL by the state of Massachusetts, is a Haitian immigrant who has been in the country illegally since June 2025, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Duffy made the decision to let all those non-domiciled CDLs continue until expired.
The decision to give border jumpers CDLs was made in 2018 by the FMSCA. 8 years of this death and destruction and now they are going to do something about it?
Dalilah's bill looks deader than ever. And if you read it, you will find as it has been perverted to the point is nothing different then what we have now. It has been changed to allow non-domiciled CDLs by immigrants!broke down plumber and TheLoadOut Thank this. -

Delilah's Law, in it's current form, sanction non-domiciled drivers permanently by the Congress.
Thank your congressmen:
Erin Houchin - R. Indiana
Vince Fong - R. California
Jay Obernolte - R. Califonia
Is it any wonder why the states with the largest number of non-domiciled drivers amended the proposed bill?
broke down plumber and Deere hunter Thank this. -
Not excusing the driver, but sanctioning troopers doing commercial inspection on the side of the interstate is negligent homicide, at a minimum.

I don't think the shoulder inspections are entirely random. Probably, triggered by something suspicious.
I drove all over PA and/or the entire Midwest for years on end without getting on a weigh station/inspection station and that's without purposely avoiding them. There were inspections at some of the rest areas but chances they pick you there are slim.
They have to go after suspicious looking trucks somewhere. -
It's about making money. They hope the uproar dies down, then they continue on. Companies want to keep cheap drivers
