Fairfield Police Investigate Fatal Crash on Post Road: Fleeing Driver Located
Fairfield, CT — On 6/21/2025 at about 9:30 p.m., Fairfield Police responded to several 911 calls reporting a crash involving a moped and a vehicle on Post Road near South Benson Road. The striking vehicle fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival; however, during the investigation, officers were able to locate both the vehicle and the driver.
