NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The driver of a 1991 Acura Integra that fled the scene of a fatal motorcycle accident on I-95 by exit 47 in New Haven early Saturday has been found and arrested.
The driver of the Acura Integra was identified as 25-year-old Gamalier Estrada of New Haven through the investigation. Connecticut State Police, Western District Major Crime Detectives, Troop E Troopers, and members of the Norwich Police Department worked to locate Estrada.
Just after 3 a.m. Sunday morning, police took Gamalier into custody on a warrant for evading responsibility-death and violation of a standing protective order.
The Acura Integra that struck a motorcycle from behind was abandoned north of the initial scene. The impact caused the operator of the motorcycle to be separated from the motorcycle. The operator, identified as 19-year-old Ricardo Figueroa-Garcia, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Gamalier is being held on a $1,250,000 bond for the two charges and is scheduled to appear in court on June 14 for violation of the protective order and June 15 for evading responsibility death charge.
