What Happened on Route 8 Near Exit 24
Troopers responded early Wednesday to Route 8 south near Exit 24, where a pedestrian had been reported hit. Police said a 2005 Toyota Camry was stopped on the right shoulder shortly before the off-ramp for Exit 24. State police said Flores-Ramirez, the Camry's occupant, was standing outside the car near the rear on the driver's side when another vehicle swerved onto the shoulder and hit him. Police said the vehicle left the scene. Police said emergency crews treated Flores-Ramirez, who was then taken to Waterbury Hospital.
Where the Troop I Search Stands
State police said the vehicle they are looking for is a white Hyundai Genesis GV70, model years 2025 to 2027, with damage on the right side. Police said the damage covers the right front fender, the right headlight and the mirror on the right side. Troop I asked anyone with information to call 203-393-4200 and speak with Trooper Rivera, who is handling the investigation. Police also want to hear from drivers who were on that part of Route 8 around then and have dash camera video, including those who believe they did not see the crash.
Finding the vehicle is usually the main focus at the start of a hit-and-run investigation. Doorbell cameras and tips from neighbors frequently make the difference.
