New Details Released In Fatal Florida Crash With Ties To Bridgeport
Additionally, members of the National Transportation Safety Board have traveled to Belle Glade, and have launched an investigation into the crash, which is separate but in tandem with the investigation by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
The determination of the cause of death is from the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office, which also ruled the manner of death as accidental, according to the Palm Beach Post.
“As part of our safety investigation, the NTSB will analyze the facts, determine the probable cause of the crash, and issue a final report and any necessary safety recommendations,” said Jennifer Gabris, a spokesperson for the NTSB, in a statement to Patch. “The vehicle has been recovered and investigators will examine it and conduct a forensic examination for electronic data. NTSB investigators will examine the following areas: vehicle factors, highway design, and human factors. The investigative team will be onscene for 5 to 7 days to thoroughly document the crash site and gather factual information. A preliminary report, which will include factual information, is expected in about 30 days.”
News 12 Connecticut reported that no one in the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
The victims are members of Lloyd Hall’s family, a custodian at Bridgeport’s Dunbar Elementary School, and they were in Florida for the 80th birthday celebration for a relative.
Ten people were in the 2023 Ford Explorer at the time of the crash, and only one person survived, Jorden Rickey Hall, 26, Lloyd’s son, who remains hospitalized in serious condition.
The deceased victims were:
Pamela Wiggins, 56
Leiana Alyse Hall, 30
Anyia Monique Lee Tucker, 21
Michael Anthony Hall Jr., 14
Imani Andre Ajani Hall, 8
Kamdien Edwards, 5

Lloyd Hall has gone back to work as a way to deal with his grief, reported The Hour, but admittedly is struggling with the weight of the losses.

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.
