ENFIELD, CT — Nearly five months after a police pursuit on Route 5 in Enfield ended in a fatal crash between a pickup truck and a mail delivery truck, police dashcam video has been released showing the moments up to and including the crash at the Massachusetts state line.

The video, obtained by masslive.com, is taken from the second Enfield police cruiser following a pickup being operated by David Cersosimo, 47, of Rocky Hill. After a northbound pursuit of about two miles on Route 5, Cersosimo crashed his truck at the state line into a mail delivery vehicle operated by Dan Nacin, 59. Cersosimo and Nacin both sustained fatal injuries.

Police in both Connecticut and Massachusetts are still investigating the crash.
