STAMFORD, CT — The scooter driver who was struck by a car on Hope Street late last month has died, according to an update from the Stamford Police Department on Thursday.

Police identified the decedent as Christian Dinamarca, 46, of Stamford.

The crash occurred on May 29 at approximately 10:59 p.m. in the 100 block of Hope Street.

A 2011 BMW was heading northbound and collided with Dinamarca, who was operating a stand-up scooter and also driving northbound, police said.

Dinamarca was taken to Stamford Hospital with serious injuries. His condition worsened and he was pronounced dead at the hospital on the evening of June 11, according to police.

No charges have been filed at this time, and the crash remains under investigation.
