Police Blotter: Ledyard Man in Montville Crash

On June  5, at 10:03 a.m., a 2004 GMC Savana driven by Gary Richard Chapman, 67, of 323 Col. Ledyard Highway, and a 2001 Toyota Rav4 driven by Klever I. Avendano, 45, of 136 Ashcraft Road, New London, collided at the intersection of Old Colchester and Gay Hill roads in Montville.

Avendano and passenger Fernando J. Galvez, 53, also of 134 Ashcraft Road, New London, complained of back and neck pain. Chapman reported no injuries.

Montville police said Chapman could not provide proof of insurance, and a DMV check showed the registration on the vehicle had expired. His vehicle, rented from Budget Truck Rental, was towed and the registration plates were seized. Chapman was issued summonses for no proof of insurance, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, following too close, failure to notify DMV of a change of address, and failure to carry registration.
