Plainville woman honored for helping police after trooper was fatally struck on I-84

"Gerilyn Dubay rendered vital assistance in an emergency situation, preventing the operator who struck and killed Trooper Pelletier from alluding capture."

[@caltech25]

That's a woman who wishes she never would have had to be given award in the first place.

[@mike_majora]

100%. You can see it on her face and hear it in her voice that she wishes more than anything that the trooper were simply still alive. "Justice" is something to be thankful for...but even if you're the hero of that story, it's hard to feel like celebrating in the aftermath of such a tragedy.

[@DamienB-m9x]

You can tell she feels she doesn’t deserve the award but she really does, she followed the guy to make sure he faced justice for what he did.

Thank you for assisting with this horrific tragedy.❤

[@jpallen719]

Look at the state of that truck it’s not roadworthy it was probably not insured or registered or safe to drive……

[@dleblanc3592]

The driver was an illegal migrant allowed into the united states by Biden/Harris open border bullcrap!!!

[@JennaColley]

Thank You, Lord God Almighty for putting her there in that spot at the right time so she could help get the Fallen Trooper & his Family justice. To His Family & Friends: Just know, his Love & Care for you will never fail. He will live on in your hearts forever & will watch over you along with the Lord.🇺🇸❤️🌹🙏

"Oyola-Sanchez"... hearing these careless names, a lot.

[@robertomartinez8621]

I know what you mean...if it's hyphenated you get the idea

[@05Hogsrule]

BACK THE BLUE!!!

[@ediedevries7454]

Why did the operator try to lose her ?

[@nathank7006]

Operator of the vehicle, the driver

[@zigman8550]

Was he here illegally?

[@joosfake]

I hear Connecticut has the worst drivers of all states.

[@joannclark9664]

Truck driver….no license, no insurance, probably illegal alien, etc. So sorry for the officer and his family. 😢

[@alimanski7941]

Puerto Rican

[@ThomasGriffin-zn1rr]

Immigration Status of the Operator?? 🤔🤔

[@lauriedonnelly7134]

💯

[@massdistractions]

Does that really matter? If he was born here does that make it any better?

[@bamfordsteele555]

Calm down, MAGA.

[@massdistractions]

@@bamfordsteele555 It's what they do though, every pathetic thing in their lives gets blamed on someone else.

[@Zeevuhl]

That'a my fellow Patriot right there!!! PAPERS!! PAPERS NAO!!!

[@melbournechugging2999]

Thats a mug shot 😂

[@M_J_Glide_22]

Sanchez......hmmmmm not surprised....im shocked.

[@brianfontanetta5693]

When they caught him, all he could say was hey my friend I did nothing. Hey my friend. Hey my friend.

[@oscarsmom2009]

Or, hey bro, wait bro, what did I do?

[@ringaleavo]

So law enforcement has time for this video, get out on the street and fight crime !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hadguy1]

Well, they’re not as busy like NY with squirrels and raccoons.

[@ringaleavo]

@@hadguy1 And "Deer", don't forget the wildlife.

[@SacPGa3377]

Don't be a douchebag.

[@Celisar1]

I Don’t understand: with the license plate police could have identified the truck driver at any given time even after he took off….. So why following the truck?

[@BehappyandKIND-x1e]

No licenses PLATE

[@GM8101PHX]

It most likely had an stolen plate, the criminal is most likely Illegal, no License, registration or insurance on the truck!! She kept on his tail and he is locked up in jail where he belongs. It is a crime to not stop during a fatal accident!! Shall I go on???

[@jonblaze2091]

I would never help a cop how they treat my ppl
