Cops: Pedestrian critically injured in crash

NEW HAVEN — A Hamden man was critically injured when he was hit by a motor vehicle while he was walking on Foxon Boulevard Monday night, according to police.

Officers and firefighters responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle near Foxon’s intersection with Quinnipiac Avenue around 8:30 p.m., Capt. Anthony Duff said in an email.

They found the 27-yearold Hamden man, who had “suffered life threatening head trauma and internal injuries.”

The man was treated at the scene, then was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital for further care. The man remained in critical condition Tuesday morning, Duff said.

“Investigators believe, prior to the accident, the pedestrian stood on the sidewalk on the north side of Foxon Boulevard. A 61-year-old Meriden woman operating an Infiniti G37 traveled westbound on Foxon Boulevard,” Duff said.

“As the Infiniti operator and traffic approached the Quinnipiac Avenue intersection, the pedestrian walked into the roadway.” he said. “After the collision, the Infiniti traveled through the intersection and came to a stop. The Infiniti operator remained on scene and was not injured.”

The department’s Accident Reconstruction Team is now investigating the crash, Duff said. As part of that investigation, the Infiniti was impounded, he said.

“Witnesses to the crash who have not spoken to police are asked to contact the New Haven Police Department at 203-946-6316,” Duff said.
