Seymour, CT (April 5, 2020) - The Seymour Police Department has reported that two accidents occurred within 40 minutes of each other on the night of April 5.

At 7:22 at night, Seymour police first received a call reporting a possible drunk driver on Bank Street. Shortly after that initial call was made, police received another report that that same driver had been involved in a motor vehicle accident. 

Nicholas Reich, a 28 year old man from Trumbull, CT, was the driver. He crashed his vehicle into some bushes and road signs at the intersection of Derby Avenue and Rose Street. Mr. Reich then drove south onto Derby Avenue. When police arrived, he was found in his vehicle by the Route 8 southbound ramp. It was decimated. Mr. Reich failed every sobriety test police conducted. He was arrested with the following charges: driving under the influence, evading responsibility, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, and failure to drive right. He was released on a 500 dollar bond. 

Police then received a third call at approximately 8:00 p.m. There was a motorcycle accident a bit north of Derby Avenue. The motorcycle driver and the passenger on the vehicle were both transported by Seymour Ambulance to St. Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport. The driver seemed to be more injured than the passenger, but they both were treated.

In 2014, Saturday proved to be the second highest day of the week for crashes that resulted in fatalities.  Of all the crashes that year, about 18% of those occurring on Saturday resulted in death while approximately 14% that occurred on Saturday resulted in injuries according to the Connecticut Departement of Transportation.  

It is an absolute travesty and tragedy for an innocent bicyclist to be fatally hit by a reckless motor vehicle.  Any life unnecessarily cut short by negligence is a misfortune.
