Wilton Man Charged in DUI Crash; Separate 3-Car Collision Reported

WILTON, CT —A 23-year-old Wilton man is facing charges in connection with a late November crash on Sharp Hill Road, according to local police.

Aidan Burke, of Cobbs Mill Road, turned himself in at Wilton Police Headquarters on April 2 following an investigation into a single-vehicle crash that occurred on Nov. 29, 2024, around 11:30 p.m. Police said Burke was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs and traveling unreasonably fast.

The crash did not involve other vehicles or injuries, and no hospital transport was reported. Following processing, Burke was released after posting a percentage of a $10,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on April 16.

In a separate incident, a chain-reaction crash involving three vehicles occurred on the afternoon of March 28 in Wilton, with one driver cited for following too closely.

Wilton police responded at approximately 3:25 p.m. to the intersection of Ridgefield Road and North Keelers Ridge Road after reports of a motor vehicle collision with possible injuries.

According to police, the first vehicle was traveling south on Ridgefield Road and had stopped behind another car waiting to turn left onto Keelers Ridge Road. A second vehicle, also heading south, slowed and came to a stop behind the first. A third vehicle, driven by G. Reyesalonzo of Mount Kisco, New York, failed to reduce speed and struck the rear of the second vehicle, which was then pushed into the first.

The third vehicle sustained significant front-end damage and was towed from the scene. Police issued Reyesalonzo an infraction for following too closely, which was determined to be the primary cause of the crash.

Several individuals, including drivers and passengers in the involved vehicles, were evaluated by Wilton EMS. All sustained minor or no apparent injuries and declined transport to the hospital.
