A suspended Massachusetts State Police sergeant faces a wrongful death lawsuit from the family of Angelo Schettino, who died after a Dec. 12, 2023 crash in Woburn. The family filed an amended complaint naming Sgt. Scott Quigley and the State Police as defendants and seeks $25 million in damages. Quigley was initially issued only a ticket after the crash, but later details emerged after concerns about his past upended a Lowell murder case where he had served as lead investigator. An independent investigation found State Police omitted key information from crash reports and failed to notify prosecutors about alleged drunk driving. Quigley pleaded not guilty to motor vehicle homicide while operating under the influence, with prosecutors alleging his cruiser crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a van carrying Schettino, who died about a month later.
"Quigley pleaded not guilty last month to a charge of motor vehicle homicide while operating under the influence, with prosecutors alleging he was drunk behind the wheel when his unmarked cruiser crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a van carrying Schettino back to his group home in Lynn. Schettino died of his injuries about a month later."
