A West Haven man was killed in a crash in Monroe Saturday morning.
Police say they responded to the intersection of Shelton Road and Wheeler Road around 10:20 a.m. Initial investigation suggests that the victim, 68-year-old Russell Curtis, was riding a 2011 Harley Davidson west on Shelton Road when he was struck by a 2003 GMC dump body pickup truck with a trailer traveling north on Wheeler Road.
Curtis was transported to Bridgeport Hospital for treatment but died of his injuries. The driver of the pickup has not been publically identified at this time.
There is a stop sign controlling traffic on Wheeler Road at the intersection, according to police. The circumstances of the crash are under investigation by the Monroe Serious Crash Investigation Team. Shelton Road was closed for an hour for preliminary investigation but has since reopened. There is no word on any charges.
