Driver Keeps on After Fender Bender in Wilton

In an unusual event, a driver simply felt like going after causing a fender-bender on Rte. 7 in Wilton.

Police pulled over a vehicle after it had apparently rear-ended another car on Rte. 7 at around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec 3, at the stoplight at the Wolfpit Road intersection. Rather than stopping, the driver simply kept traveling southbound on Rte. 7 until officers pulled over the car near Kent Road and Danbury Road.

Upon investigation, police found that the operator, Juan Cruz, 24, of Stamford, was allegedly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and lacked any form of identification. Police arrested the accused for DUI, failure to drive in the established lane, driving without a license, and evading responsibility. He was “detained on a $500 bond until a relative posted bail,” and issued a promise to appear in court. 

The full police blotter will be released at noon today. For quick news updates on all things Wilton and beyond, friend us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
