A 58-year-old man “either slipped or stepped into” the path of a snow-plow truck on Ellsworth Avenue around 8:50 p.m. Monday.
The driver, who “remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators,” was not at fault and wasn’t charged, according to police spokesman Officer David Hartman. He said the victim, who is in the hospital in critical condition, is expected to survive.
A USA‑1 Pizza delivery man was robbed of $50 — and the food he was transporting — by a group of gun-wielding teens in ski masks around midnight overnight on Mill River Street.
An Old Saybrook man’s memory has improved. He originally told cops he had no idea who may have shot him when he left Toad’s Place late Sunday night. He blamed the shooting on “a group of three or four men” he encountered near his car. Detectives found the story fishy. Monday night they visited the man, who “confessed he’d been shot accidentally while at a friend’s home in Madison,” Hartman reported.
