Witnesses sought
PUTNAM — The Putnam Police Department is looking for anyone who might have witnessed the accident May 7 at the corner of Kennedy Drive and Bridge Street.
Putnam Police, Putnam Fire Department and Putnam EMS responded to a 2-car motor vehicle crash where it was reported one operator was trapped. Police said the operator of a 2014 Nissan Maxima identified as Jordan Hidalgo was traveling south on Kennedy Drive at a high rate of speed and attempted to turn right onto Bridge Street.  Hidalgo failed to negotiate the right turn due to excessive speed, lost control of his vehicle, and collided with a 2024 Toyota Tundra stopped at the red traffic signal on Bridge Street.
Once Putnam Fire Department personnel extricated the female operator of the Toyota, she was taken to Day Kimball Hospital by Putnam EMS for non-life-threatening injuries. Hidalgo was treated at the scene for minor injuries and his passenger did not complain of any injury.
Both vehicles were towed.
Hidalgo, 19, of 46 Sabin St., Putnam was issued an infraction for traveling unreasonably fast and improper right turn. Anyone who may have witnessed the accident is encouraged to contact Officer Chip Carney at (860) 928-6565.
