The second pedestrian has succumbed to his injuries from the car accident on Monday, according to Bristol police.

Nicholas Cricco, 34, of no certain address, was one of two people struck on Pine Street near the intersection with Emmett Street around 4:15 a.m. Monday morning.

Fay Clarity, 37, on the morning of the accident after being transported to an area hospital along with Cricco.

At around 4:15 a.m., police officers were dispatched to a serious crash in the area of Pine Street (Route 72) and Emmett Street involving a vehicle versus two pedestrians, the report states. Upon arrival, officers from the patrol division administered life saving measures until EMS arrived on scene to take over care.

The initial investigation showed that an eastbound vehicle was traveling on Pine Street and struck the two pedestrians, who appear to have been within the crosswalk area.

The driver was able to stop their vehicle and remained on scene, cooperating with responding police. The driver was not injured.

Any witnesses of this crash is encouraged to contact Officer K. Verillo, 860 584-3031 or KatherineVerillo@BristolCT.gov.
