Driver arrested for fleeing motor vehicle accident in Plainfield
PLAINFIELD, Conn. (WTNH) — A driver with an active warrant was arrested after fleeing from a motor vehicle accident that injured two occupants in Plainfield. On Friday night around 9:30, Plainfield police officers responded to 135 Black Hill Road for a single-vehicle accident. At the scene, responding officers located tire marks and debris in the southbound lane and initiated a search of the area. The search uncovered an overturned Jeep several yards into the wood line with two occupants. The occupants were a 27-year-old male and a 31-year-old female who were extricated from the vehicle and taken to Backus Hospital for their injuries. Further investigation determined that the Jeep operator, 29-year-old Jacob Clark, had lost control of the vehicle, causing it to leave the roadway and overturn several times before halting near the woods. Clark fled the scene on foot before officials arrived and was apprehended the following day with the help of state troopers. For his role in the crash, Clark was charged with failure to maintain proper lane, operating under suspension, reckless endangerment, and evading responsibility. Clark also had an active warrant for a previous charge involving criminal mischief in the third degree and larceny in the fifth degree. After being released on bond, Clark is scheduled to appear at the Danielson Superior Court on March 3. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
