Jeep Crashes Fence, Totals Parked Cars: Police

WILTON, CT -- Police report that a vehicle crashed into a dumpster and was airborne in the parking lot of Molly's Deli.

On July 6, a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee was traveling northbound on Danbury Road near #673 when a vehicle ahead of it stopped sharply, police report.

The driver, Kim Kkotsaem, 32, of 56 Portland Avenue in Redding, turned to the left sharply and possibly accelerated across Danbury Road, police said. The Jeep traveled through the parking lot of Molly's Deli and struck a dumpster, a boulder and a pile of dirt. The latter sent the vehicle "somewhat airborne," the police report said, and through the fence dividing Molly's and Precision Performance. The jeep struck, and totaled, two parked vehicles with a third possibly having sustained contact, but with no visible damage. A fourth vehicle had contact with some of the debris from the crash, but did not appear damaged, the police reported.

Kim, who was accompanied by a one-year-old boy, was charged with failing to keep right, following too closely, and a seat belt violation. The child was sent to Norwalk Hospital where it was determined he was unharmed.
