Emmanuel Segarra-Otero, age 30, of Stamford, was arrested on Friday, Aug. 6, after turning himself in to New Canaan in connection with the crash which took place on Saturday, June 12, on the Merritt Parkway, said New Canaan Police Lt. Jason Ferraro.
According to Ferraro, when officers arrived at the single-vehicle crash site, they located an unoccupied vehicle that had crashed into the guardrail on Old Stamford Road.
A subsequent investigation determined that Otero was the operator and single occupant of the vehicle and left the scene without reporting the crash.
An arrest warrant was obtained on the charges of:
- Failure to drive upon right
- Distracted driving/cellphone
- Evading responsibility with property damage
He was released on a $1,000 bond.
