Two people have died and one person is injured after a motorcycle crash in Bridgeport over the weekend.

Dispatchers received several calls about a crash involving a motorcycle and a vehicle in the 1800 block of Stratford Avenue on Sunday around 6:15 p.m.

Emergency crews arrived and saw two people on the ground next to Stratford Avenue and Edwin Street. Both of them appeared to be seriously injured and were unresponsive. The two people were transported to Bridgeport Hospital Medial Center.

The driver of the motorcycle, identified as 32-year-old Carlos Jean Parra Rodriquez, of Stratford, and his passenger, identified as 21-year-old Deivi Suarez, of Penn., were later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Investigators believe a Chevy Equinox was traveling south on Bishop Avenue and attempted to turn left onto Stratford Avenue.

The Chevy Equinox reportedly collided with a motorcycle that was traveling east on Stratford Avenue. The motorcycle then crashed into a parked Dodge Ram.

The 18-year-old male driver of the Chevy Equinox was not injured. His 15-year-old female passenger was treated at Bridgeport Hospital for minor injuries.

The crash is under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Eroildo Quiles at 475-422-6141, by email at Eroildo.Quiles@bridgeportct.gov or the Bridgeport Police Tips Hotline at (203) 576-TIPS.
