Tucson, AZ – Faith Mascolino, 45 and a mother of five, was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving. A second officer arrived to assist and pulled behind the first officer. Mascolino was eventually arrested, handcuffed and placed in the back of the second unit while the two officers stood outside. At that point, 28-year-old Robert Gallivan, driving a 2004 Nissan, drifted into the emergency lane and struck the back of the patrol car Mascolino was sitting in. The patrol car burst into flames and Mascolino burned alive.

The Nissan slammed into the patrol car containing Mascolino, which burst into flames, then crashed into the first patrol car, which slammed into Mascolino’s SUV. The Nissan then took to the air, soaring over the guardrail, where it, too, caught fire. Officers were able to rescue Gallivan, but due to the intense flames and the extreme damage to the patrol car, they couldn’t do the same for Mascolino. Robert Gallivan, 24, was taken to an area hospital in critical condition. As of yet, it is unknown whether he was driving under the influence of alcohol. Hehh…wouldn’t that be a strange twist? The results of the ongoing investigation will decide what, if any, charges Gallivan will face.

Mascolino was honored last month by 94.9 Mix FM as part of their yearly promotion around Mother’s Day. Mascolino’s daughter had submitted a letter to the radio station stating that her mom was a “remarkable woman” whose “kids come first and she has been left to do most everything on her own.” Mascolino received a phone call from the radio crew to congratulate her on being “Mom of the day.”
