WATERBURY, Conn. — A Waterbury man died from his injuries in a hit-and-run crash last week and police announced they have a suspect under arrest.
Daryl Hammond, 59, of Waterbury, was struck at 923 East Main Street on July 21 shortly after 10 p.m. Police found him lying in the street with his bicycle nearby.
Police determined that Hammond was hit by a passing vehicle that then left the scene, leaving him injured in the roadway. Hammond was taken to Saint Mary’s Hospital where he was originally in critical condition. He died on Saturday.
