Another illegal driver has claimed a victim in a crash.
Pennsylvania State trooper Michael E. Pahira, Jr., 44, was killed when a semitruck, allegedly driven by 33-year-old Michael Bon, who entered the country under the Biden administration and obtained a commercial driver’s license from Massachusetts
Trooper Pahira was conducting a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) inspection while standing outside his vehicle. The CMV, allegedly driven by Bon, first struck the side mirror on trooper Pahira’s car, which had its emergency lights on, then struck the rear of the CMV being inspected, before then striking trooper Pahira.
Following the crash, both CMVs caught fire.
Trooper Pahira was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
According to CBS 21, “A DHS spokesperson told CBS 21 that Michael Bon is a Haitian immigrant who has been in the U.S. illegally since June 2025.”
“Bon was admitted into the country at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as a parolee on July 2, 2024, DHS said.”
Although Bon filed an application for Temporary Protected Status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, it was never granted, and parole was terminated.
Bon chose to remain in the country anyway.
Per a statement from state police:
Governor Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens, Acting Commissioner, identified the fallen Trooper as Michael E. Pahira, Jr., a native of Schuylkill County.

Trooper Pahira’s marked patrol unit had its emergency lighting activated and was positioned directly behind the CMV.
A second CMV was also traveling southbound on I-81 and approached the location. The second CMV left the roadway and struck the patrol unit’s side view mirror. It then impacted the rear of the CMV, which was being inspected, pushing it further off the
roadway. The second CMV then struck Trooper Pahira. Both CMVs caught on fire after impact.Trooper Pahira was seriously injured and was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Pahira’s patrol car was parked behind the cab with its emergency lights on as he inspected the vehicle parked on the right shoulder in Cass Township when the deadly chain reaction occurred, according to officials.
