Unlicensed Motorist Drove 95MPH On Highway With Toddler In Car: Police

ROCKY HILL, CT — A New Haven woman is accused of driving 95 miles per hour on I-91 Monday night with a one-year-old child in the backseat, state police said.

State police received multiple 911 calls Monday around 11:03 p.m. reporting a Silver Hyundai Sonata driving erratically on the southbound side of the highway near Exit 32.

A state trooper, who was stopped on the right shoulder up ahead, saw the vehicle pass by and began following it. The trooper clocked the vehicle at 95 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone, according to police.

Police pulled the vehicle over in Rocky Hill, and saw the one-year-old child in the backseat, police said. The driver did not have a valid driver’s license, and the vehicle was both unregistered and uninsured, according to police.

The driver, Nahgee Baldwin, 24, of New Haven, was charged with reckless driving, risk of injury to a minor, first-degree reckless endangerment, operating without a license, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle without minimum insurance, and improper use of a registration plate.

Baldwin is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in New Britain on June 24.
