MONTVILLE — A tractor trailer struck and killed a Montville teen Wednesday night in the northbound lanes of the Interstate 287, state police said.
The driver of a 2006 Freightliner was traveling north at 7 p.m. in the right lane near mile marker 47.3 when he spotted a male juvenile in front of him, said Sgt. Brian Polite.
“The driver of the truck was unable to stop and he struck the pedestrian,” Polite said. “He was pronounced deceased on the scene.”
Police identified the victim as a 16-year-old Montville boy.
Polite declined to characterize the death as a suicide, but indications are that the teen may have jumped in front of the tractor trailer. State Police are still investigating the incident, he said.
