On October 8, 2026, at approximately 11:59 p.m., the Bridgeport Emergency Operations Center received a report of a collision with a motor vehicle versus a motorcycle in the 2500 block of Park Avenue. The initial caller reported that a male motorcyclist was unresponsive and that a large crowd was beginning to gather at the scene. Emergency personnel were dispatched immediately.
Upon arrival, Bridgeport police officers observed emergency medical personnel providing aid to the unresponsive motorcyclist. The motorcyclist was transported to St. Vincent’s Medical Center by American Medical Response (AMR). Despite emergency medical efforts, the 28-year-old Bridgeport resident succumbed to his injuries at approximately 12:31 a.m. on October 9, 2026.
Bridgeport police officers secured the scene, and the Bridgeport Police Department’s Crash Reconstruction Team, along with the Southern Fairfield County Reconstruction Team, responded to conduct a crash reconstruction as part of the investigation.
Preliminary findings indicate that the motorcyclist was traveling southbound on Park Avenue. The motorcycle approached the intersection of Suburban Avenue, and the motorcycle was struck by a Honda CR-V being operated by a 34-year-old Bridgeport resident who was attempting to make a left turn onto Park Avenue. The impact ejected the motorcyclist from the motorcycle. The 34-year-old female driver of the Honda CR-V did not sustain any injuries.
The investigation remains active and is being led by Officer Rory Anderson of the Bridgeport Police Department.
