One person was killed on the Wilbur Cross Parkway in Meriden on Friday morning and state police said they are looking into the possibility that a car hit a pedestrian.
The crash happened in the area of exit 68 on the Wilbur Cross Parkway at 6:25 a.m., according to state police. The northbound side of the highway was closed, but one lane has reopened.
Cesar Bonet, 54, of Meriden, got out of his car on the right shoulder of Exit 68W to help another person who had struck a deer, police said. Bonet was hit by another car while he was standing on the side of the road.
The driver and Bonet were taken to the hospital. Before confirming that there is a fatality, police said Bonet had life-threatening injuries.
There's been a GoFundMe page set up for Bonet's family.
No additional information was immediately available as the investigation is still underway.
