Currituck DUI

Police report that late on the night of June 9, motorist Chris Bowes, 18, of 5 Evergreen Road was involved in a motor vehicle accident on Currituck Road, near Hedge Meadow Lane, in which the vehicle he was driving struck a curb and then hit several small rocks.

Police said that after failing field sobriety tests, they charged Bowes with driving under the influence and with making an improper turn. After processing the charges, police released Bowes on $50 bail for a June 23 appearance in Danbury Superior Court.

Truck Hits Rail Bridge

Brandon Wright, 30, of East Hartford was driving a box truck eastward on Botsford Hill Road at about 5:20 pm June 7 and attempted to drive beneath the low-clearance Housatonic Railroad bridge there, police said.

The box truck, which exceeded the low-bridge clearance, then struck the bridge, heavily damaging the truck, police said. The truck was towed away from the accident. Wright was not injured.

Police issued Wright an infraction ticket for failure to obey posted low-bridge clearance warnings.
