 Police said that an unoccupied 1999 International fuel tanker, which was delivering fuel, was parked in front of 7 Shut Road. The tanker’s driver was Fabio DeSousa, 31, of Danbury.

At that time, a westbound town-owned 1997 Ford F-4000 truck, which was plowing snow and was driven by Paul Martin, 63, of Brookfield, was traveling in the area, police said.

As the town snowplow truck passed by the fuel tanker, the two vehicles’ exterior left, rear-view mirrors collided, police said. There were no injuries. Police verbally warned DeSousa for improper parking.
