Three people were struck by a hit-and-run driver after the St. Patricks's Day Parade in Hartford, Saturday afternoon. Shortly after the accident, State Police apprehended the driver on I-91 in Hartford.
The incident occurred in the heart of downtown on Trumbull Street around 4:00 p.m.
According to a spokesman from Mayor Pedro Segarra's office, Sandy Hook First responders, who marched in the parade, were first to respond and assisted the victims. All three are transported to a local hospital and are currently in stable condition.
Witnesses say they heard a big bang and saw a red mustang with a convertible top slam into a pole. After the crash, four occupants jumped out of the car. Three of those occupants were also injured from the crash.
