Man Charged in Fatal Tractor-Trailer Crash in Hartford

A tractor-trailer driver has been charged in connection with a fatal crash in Hartford in February.

On February 21, 2019, 77-year-old Carl Loven was hit by a tractor-trailer at the intersection of High Street and Walnut Street. He died of his injuries.

The truck driver, identified as 45-year-old Benjamin Andrade, did remain on scene and cooperate with investigators, police said.

After reconstructing the crash, investigators determined there was reason to charge Andrade. He was arrested without incident and is charged with misconduct with a motor vehicle, operating with extending width or length, operating of a commercial motor vehicle without a CDL, and failure to obey traffic signals.

Andrade was held on a $175,000 bond.
