Driver In Tolland I-84 Hit-And-Run Tracked Down, Charged: Warrant

TOLLAND, CT — State police have made an arrest in a violent collision on a stretch of highway in Tolland in the fall.

At 12:27 p.m. on Nov. 10, state police were notified that a "victim" of a hit-and-run crash was following the other vehicle involved in the incident on Interstate 84 in Tolland.

A trooper then located a black Subaru Outback on the eastbound side that had sustained rear driver's side damage in the center median a mile short of Exit 68, according to a warrant.

A man and an 8-year-old boy were standing next to the Subaru and they told a trooper that their car had been hit by a white vehicle that had been weaving in and out of traffic and, after it spun out information on the other vehicle had been given to an off-duty Massachusetts state trooper and Department of Motor Vehicles officer who had both stopped to check on them, according to a crash report.

Investigators then identified the white sedan, as a Honda accord owned by a 21-year-old man from of Chicopee, MA. He was charged last week on a warrant with speeding, reckless driving, evading responsibility, operating a motor vehicle to harass or intimidate and making an improper turn following an incident on Interstate-84.
