Another Driver Kills Another Pedestrian

The latest fatal car crash involving a pedestrian occurred Tuesday night on — no surprise — Ella T. Grasso Boulevard.

Cops responding to the scene at 7:03 p.m. found a 50-year-old man lying in the street at around 695 Blvd., according to police spokeswoman Lt. Shayna Kendall. The man was transported to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

The driver remained on scene. The police department’s Accident Reconstruction Team has launched an investigation.

Motorists killed nine pedestrians in New Haven in 2019, including five within one month, prompting cries for emergency action by the city. At the state level, State Reps. Pat Dillon and Roland Lemar last week said they’re seeking to pass legislation requiring traffic-calming and safety work on three deadly state thoroughfares in town — including the Boulevard. (Click here to read about that.) There’s no way to cross the road without getting pancaked,” Dillon said about the Boulevard.

Last Aug. 10, a 43-year-old pedestrian named Lony Bosquet died after two cars struck him while he was crossing the Boulevard. Another pedestrian was struck (not killed) at the Boulevard and South Frontage on Sept. 24.
