Stamford, CT – The Stamford Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad has completed its probe into a fatal crash involving a motorcycle and a motor vehicle on May 17, at approximately 9:13 p.m. The incident occurred on Lockwood Ave. at its intersection with William St.
A 17-year-old from Stamford was operating a 2020 Kawasaki motorcycle northbound on Lockwood Ave. A southbound 2011 Toyota Corolla, driven by Stamford resident Hector Rolando Lemus-Portillo, 58, attempted a left turn, crossing into the motorcycle’s path. The motorcyclist attempted to stop but collided with the front of the Toyota, while Lemus-Portillo stayed at the scene to assist investigators.
