Police: Driver Charged After Hitting Cyclist, Who Took a Picture of the License Plate
|
Police say a bicycle rider who was struck by a car was able to take a picture of the car’s license plate, leading to charges against the driver. It’s the second recent report of a Darien victim getting a picture of a license plate that led to charges against someone else. In the previous case, a woman’s picture led to the arrest of two men on burglary charges. Police gave this description of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:
The cyclist later told police he stopped on the sidewalk to wait until it was safe to cross West Norwalk Road. A vehicle on that street stopped at the stop sign and waved the cyclist across, so he began crossing the street.
