HAMDEN, Conn. — A father and his son are recovering after a car "driving erratically" from a prior crash struck them as they were crossing the street Thursday morning, Hamden police said.
Officers were called to the area of Dixwell Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue for a crash. One of the vehicles evaded and was found shortly afterward in the area of Dixwell and Homestead Avenue.
Police tried to make contact with the driver, but the driver began driving erratically "in circles" before going south on Dixwell, according to police.
The same vehicle struck a man and a young child as they were crossing the street on Dixwell Avenue near Newtown Street, police said.
Police believe the father sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while the son sustained minor injuries.
Anyone with information or video surveillance in the area is asked to contact Officer Brett Ferrara of the Hamden Police Department’s Traffic Division at (203) 230-4000 or bferrara@hamdenpd.com.
