MIDDLEBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — A 22-year-old man is dead after a crash on Interstate 84 in Middlebury on Saturday, Connecticut State Police say.
Crews from Troop A. responded to the scene between exits 16 and 17 on the Eastbound side at about 3:45 a.m. for reports of a two-car crash.
The both cars were traveling in the center lane near the South Street Bridge when the second car rear ended the first. The driver of the second car died as a result of the crash.
Connecticut State Police have identified the victim as 22-year-old James Hannan of Farmington.
Any witnesses to the collision are requested to contact Trooper James Perazzella #762 at (203)267-2200 or james.perazzella@ct.gov. The collision remains under investigation.
Two people have been arrested in connection to a shooting at an event hall in Waterbury last weekend.
Officers received information about a shooting at So Blu’Niq on Wolcott Street on Sunday around 5 a.m. It was also reported that a victim from the incident had admitted themselves to the hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds.
Police said they made contact with the 27-year-old victim at the hospital. According to investigators, she had a gunshot wound to her abdomen and her arm. She is reportedly still admitted and receiving treatment, but is considered to be in stable condition.
Investigators responded to So Blu’Niq and found a crime scene. Authorities said they determined there was an isolated disturbance that happened inside the business that escalated to a firearm being discharged and the woman being hit by a projectile.
While investigating, authorities said they also determined that at the time of the incident, liquor and alcoholic beverages were illegally being sold without a permit or license.
Warrants were secured for a 50-year-old woman from Waterbury and a 29-year-old man from Waterbury.
The woman was taken into custody on Friday and is being charged with illegal sale of alcohol. She is set to appear in court on June 10.
The man was taken into custody on Wednesday and is facing charges including assault, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a pistol/revolver by a convicted felon, illegal discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment and carrying a pistol without a permit. He appeared in court on Thursday on a $1.5 millon bond.
