A reward for information leading to the arrest of the driver who struck and killed a 23-year-old Bethel mom has increased from $1,000 to $5,000 as family members plead for anyone with information to come forward.
Rachel Sack, 23, was struck near the intersection of South Street and Green Pasture Road in Danbury early last month. Family members said she was leaving a local cafe and heading home to Bethel, where her 9-week-old son was waiting.
Sack, a nurse's assistant at Regional Hospice and Home Care in Danbury, was pronounced dead at Danbury Hospital.
More than a month later, police are still working to track down the driver who hit her. Family, friends and coworkers have collected $5,000 for a reward and set up a scholarship fund for baby Jackson.
"We hope her son grows up knowing she was very loved and supported and that we can try to raise money for an educational scholarship fund for him so he can go to college," said Cynthia Roy, president of Regional Hospice and Home Care.
Donations to the Rachel Sack Reward Fund and Jackson Scholarship Fund can be sent to:
