PETA Arrives in Court for Enfield Hit-and-Run Case

It was an emotional day in court as the man accused of hitting a car in Enfield on Tuesday morning and killing two people who were inside it, appeared before a judge.

Kyle Berry, of Bailey Road in Enfield, is being held on $1 million bond after a judge denied his attorney's request to reduce bond to $100,000.

Police said Berry hit Glenn McIntyre's car on Route 191 around 1 a.m., throwing three people from the car.

Michael Kennedy, 57, and Colleen Caruso, 34, both of East Windsor, were killed in the crash.

McIntyre, 32, of East Windsor, and Joanna Olden, a 31-year-old mother of four from Enfield, survived and were taken to Bay State Medical Center in Springfield, officials said.

Olden's father said she was wearing a seatbelt and was the only person not thrown from the vehicle. She has been released from the hospital.

Investigators got a tip on Tuesday afternoon, went to Berry's house, seized his truck, arrested him and charged him with evading, police said.  

“It appears that the pickup truck slammed into the car in front of it, and sent it out of control,” Enfield Police Chief Carl Sferrazza said.

Berry was charged with felony evading and appeared in court on Wednesday.

According to court documents, Berry and the four others knew each other and were together at Mickey Finn's Cafe in Somers before the crash.

"He had no ill will against these people.  They knew each other," said Robyn Berry, Kyle Berry's sister.

Berry has a criminal past that includes convictions for injuring a police dog in 2007, serving time for probation violations and serving 18 months in jail for killing a neighbor's cat in 2010.

It was because of the incident with the cat that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals appeared in court and confronted Berry's family.
