Bill to rename I-81 Exit 119 after fallen PSP trooper now law

Harrisburg, Pa. — Legislation to designate the interchange of Interstate 81 and State Route 4007, known as Exit 119, as the PSP Trooper Michael E. Pahira Jr. Memorial Interchange has been signed into law, said Sen. Dave Argall (R-29) and Rep. Tim Twardzik (R-123) . Trooper Pahira passed away on July 1 after being struck by a tractor-trailer while conducting a commercial vehicle safety inspection along Interstate 81 in Cass Township. He joined the Pennsylvania State Police in 2007 and most recently served as a motor carrier enforcement inspector with Troop L, Frackville. He was the 106th state trooper to lose his life in the line of duty. The renamed exit is on the border of Cass and Butler townships in Schuylkill County. “Pennsylvania suffered a tragedy this summer with the loss of Trooper Pahira,” said Argall. “Trooper Pahira represented the very best of our commonwealth, dedicating nearly 20 years of his life to serving his community and the people of Pennsylvania.” “The renaming of I-81 Exit 119 in honor of Trooper Pahira ensures that his courage, sacrifice and service to the commonwealth will never be forgotten,” Twardzik said. “May his name serve as a lasting reminder of the dangers
