A Putnam County man died after a vehicle struck him on Interstate 84 in Farmington, Connecticut.
According to a Connecticut State Police report, Adam Peppe, 34, of Brewster, was standing outside on the shoulder of I-84 near Farmington around 9:10 a.m. on Monday, to check on his vehicle when a van traveling in the right lane of the interstate struck Peppe, his vehicle, and another vehicle stopped on the shoulder.
Peppe was transferred to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Police say an 8-year-old girl believed to be Peppe’s daughter was in the vehicle at the time of the crash but was not injured.
