Police arrest New Haven man in connection with fatal crash

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in New Haven.

Antonio Calderon, of New Haven, is charged with felony evading, second-degree manslaughter and related crimes in the March 7 crash that killed Michael Kucher, of New Haven.

Police say the 27-year-old Calderon was driving the vehicle that struck Kucher as he was crossing Grand Avenue just after midnight. The vehicle fled after hitting Kucher. One witness reported the driver was known as ``Wolverine'' and had vampire-like fangs.

Kucher died from his injuries March 16.

Police say surveillance video from the area of the crash shows the vehicle that hit Kucher was racing two others.

It's unclear whether Calderon has a lawyer who could comment. Online records didn't list a phone number for Calderon.
