On the morning of November 5, two police officers and one other person were injured during a police chase which resulted in a crash on the I95 exit 30 off ramp.
Police were responding to a complaint that a grey Lincoln Sedan, driven by Bryce Laister of Fairfield, had struck a parked vehicle and telephone pole and was driving erratically in Boston Avenue and St. Michaels Avenue. Officers attempted to stop the driver whose vehicle had a blown out tire, but he swerved on to Surf Avenue into the opposite lane towards oncoming vehicles. A trash truck was unable to avoid Laister and collided with the police vehicle with the force of the crash causing the trash truck, which was filled with garbage, to tip on to its side. Two police officers and one occupant of the trash truck were taken to Bridgeport Hospital with minor injuries.
Laister attempted to flee the scene of the crash but was caught by a bystander. He was arrested and charged with a large number of motoring offences. He was also charged with evading responsibility and reckless driving, but was later released on $10,000 bond.
