Man Arrested After Truck Smashes into West Hartford Building

A man was arrested after his 2006 Chevy Silverado pickup crashed into an apartment building on Hillcrest Avenue in West Hartford Sunday night. 

Police said no one was injured when 41-year-old Jose Serrano, of West Hartford, crashed into the entrance of an apartment building at 107 Hillcrest Avenue. He had a 45-year-old female passenger in the truck at the time.

The building sustained heavy damage and, according to firefighters, the gas to the building had to be turned off, leaving several people without a warm place to stay for the night.  

Serrano was arrested and charged with DWI and driving with a suspended license. He was released on a $1,000 bond and expected in court on Jan. 12.
