Police are investigating an incident which happened just before 1 p.m. on Friday when a pedestrian was struck by a car on Madison Avenue in Bridgeport.
It appears that Kaitlyn Doorhy, aged 20, and a friend were crossing the street, on the 200 block of Madison Avenue, when Doorhy was hit by a red Nissan coupe driven by Brandon Pouncie, aged 28, of Bridgeport. He remained on the scene and there is no word yet as to whether charges will be filed. Doorhy was a junior at Sacred Heart University.
According to William Kaempffer, public safety spokesman for the Bridgeport Police Department, the victim was taken to Saint Vincent’s Medical Center where she later died. The woman accompanying her was not injured. According to investigators, they believe the car swerved to avoid hitting the first pedestrian and collided with Doorhy.
The accident remains under investigation and no charges have been filed.
