Willington Man Facing Endangerment Charge After DUI Crash: Report

WILLINGTON/MANSFIELD, CT — A Willington man who crashed his car with an "infant" in the rear seat on Route 195 in Mansfield has been charged, state police said.

The crash took place at 5:26 p.m. on Thursday, according to a report. No injuries were reported, but the driver, identified as 30-year-old Kyle Chappelle, of Willington, failed a series of sobriety tests at the scene of the accident and was charged with driving under the influence, according to a report.

Because a child was in the vehicle, he was also charged with second-degree reckless endangerment, risk of injury to a child and following too closely, according to a report.
