Man Charged In Fatal Motorcycle, Truck Crash: Norwalk Police

NORWALK, CT — A man was charged Tuesday in connection to a fatal crash involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck reported last month in Norwalk, according to police.

In a news release, Police Sgt. Ryan Evarts said the crash was reported Sept. 14 at the intersection of Winfield Street and Pequot Drive.

A police investigation determined the motorcycle was traveling westbound on Winfield Street when the pickup truck started to make a left turn onto Pequot Drive and struck the motorcycle, which was traveling straight at a reasonable speed, Evarts said.

The motorcycle driver, who police later identified as Norwalk resident Dwight Clifford St. John, sustained life-threatening injuries and died the following day, according to Evarts.

The driver of the pickup truck, Juan Ochoa-Macias, 31, of Norwalk, was arrested Tuesday on charges of misconduct with a motor vehicle and failure to yield while turning left.

His bond was set at $50,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court later this month, according to Evarts.
