On Tuesday, June 13 around 5 p.m., 49-year-old Thomas McGee, of West Hartland, turned himself in on an active arrest warrant for fleeing the scene of a fatal crash back in May 2016.
The hit-and-run took place on New Hartford Road in Barkhamsted on May 20th, 2016 , where McGee was attempting to make a left turn and hit a man on a dirt bike with his truck. The victim, 23-year-old Zachary Dube, was taken to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and then Hartford Hospital by Life Star, where he was later pronounced dead.
