According to the Connecticut Post, the Connecticut State Police announced that the person struck by a motor vehicle on I-95 after midnight on Saturday was attempting to aid another vehicle which was involved in an accident.

The victim, reportedly a 45 year old man from Whitestone, New York, was “transferred to Norwalk Hospital with minor injuries” following the strike. The Connecticut Post continued to say that he was subsequently given a verbal warning by State Police for “alleged ‘reckless use of the highway by a pedestrian,’ according to state police.”
