A Hamden man has been arrested in connection with the crash that killed his passenger in New Haven in July when he swerved to avoid hitting another vehicle, according to police.
Dean L. Williams, 36, of Hamden, was driving a three-wheeled Polaris Slingshot at Whalley Avenue and West Park Avenue just after 3 a.m. on Sunday, July 19 when he swerved so he didn’t hit another vehicle, police said.
The vehicle wound up on the sidewalk and hit a cement wall, then a tree that grew from the wall.
The motorcycle rolled over and the passenger in the front seat, Kevin Lee Lewis, died from injuries he sustained in the crash, police said.
Williams has been charged with negligent homicide with a motor vehicle and failure to drive in proper lane.
