Zachary Fink's family countersues semi driver's estate after 2024 crash
The family of a Florida Highway Patrol trooper who tragically lost his life in a collision on Interstate 95 in St. Lucie County last year has taken legal action by filing a countersuit, which includes claims against the estate of a semi driver who was also involved in the crash. Trooper Zachary Fink, 26, and truck driver Arsenio Mas, 55, both passed away on February 2, 2024, following the incident on I-95. The collision occurred during a pursuit of a driver named Michael Addison, who was reported to be driving recklessly and had outstanding charges against him. The trooper's father, Robert Fink, has filed a lawsuit seeking damages related to the tragic loss of his son, including medical and funeral expenses. The family is seeking compensation exceeding $50,000. The countersuit was filed in response to a previous lawsuit initiated by the Mas family. Despite the challenging circumstances, Robert Fink defended his son's actions, emphasizing the need to address the situation appropriately. The tragic incident underscores the risks and sacrifices that law enforcement officers face in the line of duty.
