Man critically injured in Bridgeport hit-and-run
A man has critical injuries after a hit-and-run in Bridgeport last week.
Dispatchers received several calls about a collision involving a pedestrian on Friday around 6:30 p.m.
It was reported that a pedestrian had been struck at the intersection of Fairfield Avenue and State Street Extension.
Emergency crews responded to the area and found an unconscious man on the ground.
The 44-year-old Bridgeport man was transported to Bridgeport Hospital. He is currently listed in critical condition.
According to investigators, the man was in the intersection when a vehicle traveling east on Fairfield Avenue hit him and then fled the scene.
The Bridgeport Police Serious Crash Investigation Team is working to find video of the collision. Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Darryl Wilson at (203) 576-7640 or the Bridgeport Police TIPS line at (203) 576-TIPS.
Two Oregon men were found dead in a Washington state forest after they failed to return from a trip to look for Sasquatch, authorities said Saturday.
The 59-year-old and 37-year-old appear to have died from exposure, the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office said via Facebook. The weather and the men’s lack of preparedness led the office to draw that conclusion, it said.
Sasquatch is a folkloric beast thought by some to roam the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.
The two men were found in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, which is about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Portland.
A family member reported them missing at around 1 a.m. on Christmas Day after they failed to return from a Christmas Eve outing.
Sixty volunteer search-and-rescue personnel helped in the three-day search, including canine, drone and ground teams. The Coast Guard used infrared technology to search from the air.
Authorities used camera recordings to locate the vehicle used by the pair off Oklahoma Road near Willard, which is on the southern border of the national forest.
A vehicle was reportedly in the water at a country club in Glastonbury on Saturday.
Police said it was reported at Glastonbury Hills Country Club.
It’s unclear if anyone was injured.
Authorities did not release any additional details, but said the investigation was ongoing.
