GRISWOLD, Conn — State police arrested a Norwich man they have accused of leaving the scene of a deadly hit-and-run in Jewett City last year.
Curt Rivard, Jr., is facing multiple charges for hitting and killing a woman on North Main Street in September 2023.
The passenger of the vehicle Rivard was driving told investigators they demanded to be let out after the crash, but Rivard kept driving, according to the arrest warrant. The passenger later called police to report the crash, the arrest warrant states.
Rivard was arrested a short time after the crash and was charged with evading responsibility and operating under the influence.
Rivard was in the custody of the state Dept. of Correction on Tuesday when he was given more charges, including manslaughter, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, traveling unreasonably fast, failure to driver in proper lane, and failure to exercise care to avoid pedestrian.
He was held on a $100,000 bond and was then arraigned in court.
