BRISTOL, Conn. — Bristol police are investigating a "serious" car crash that turned deadly in the area of Broad St. and King St. overnight Saturday.
Police said it happened around 2 a.m. Saturday. A motorcycle operator was traveling west on Broad St. and failed to negotiate a curve in the road, police said. The motorcycle went off the road and the operator fell off the motorcycle, police said.
