A West Hartford man who is accused of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a crash where two children were injured has been arrested.
Police said there was a two-car crash on Interstate 84 East in Hartford just after 8:30 p.m. and 37-year-old Jason Hayes, of West Hartford, was found to be at fault.
He did not check in the other vehicle, fled the scene and did not notify police, according to state police.
The two children who were injured were transported to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. No additional information was released on their condition.
Police said they found Hayes a short distance from the scene of the crash and he has been charged with evading responsibility, illegal operation of a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, following too closely and other charges.
Bond was set at $2,500.
