A 43-year-old man died on Hamden’s “power line trails” after an ATV crash.
So reported Hamden police spokesperson Capt. Ronald Smith.
Hamden cops responded at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday to a report of an ATV accident on the trails near West Woods and Gaylord Mountain roads.
They found the 43-year-old man lying dead next to an unoccupied ATV.
“A preliminary investigation determined that the male ‘may have lost control, as he attempted to negotiate a turn,’” Smith wrote in a release issued Wednesday afternoon. “He was ejected from the ATV. An autopsy will be performed today.”
The name of the victim was not released.
