A 65-year-old man who was struck by a vehicle in Windsor Locks early Thursday morning has died and police said the woman accused of hitting him was under the influence.
Police responded to Old County Road, just south of Halfway House Road, at 12:04 a.m. after receiving a 911 call reporting that a vehicle hit a pedestrian.
Officers who arrived at the scene found 65-year-old Francis Franco, of Windsor Locks, in the road and the driver of the other vehicle, 37-year-old Ladonna Davis, of Windsor Locks, was comforting him.
Police said Franco had suffered a head injury and was alive but unresponsive. He was then transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries, according to police.
Davis was given a field sobriety test, which police said she did not perform to standard. She was then given two breath tests, which showed her blood alcohol content to be above the legal limit, according to a news release from police.
The North Central Municipal Accident Reconstruction Squad responded and assumed responsibility for the investigation.
Davis was initially charged with driving under the influence and additional charges are possible.
