Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

I am an EMT, I felt it was in the best judgment to upgrade and ambulance transport to Priority 2. I began lights and sirens without notifying dispatch, without any excuse. I was told later on by my CEO at his residence, and not the workplace, which I was ordered to, that I hit a vehicle in the right lane, without any prior knowledge, and was ordered to type incident report.
It is my understanding that workplace investigations are supposed to be kept confidential until they are concluded. I learned today that the Chief Operations Officer of my company was openly in public telling the story to employees, and now I am being harassed as a result of it. Did my employer break any laws by disclosing confidential information, and does mass law regulate if investigations are to remain confidential?

I don't know of any law that would require an employer's investigation into a car accident to remain confidential.
