Bicyclist dead after Bethel hit-and-run
BETHEL -- The bicyclist who was trapped under a car after an accident on Route 302 Sunday has died, according to his wife. Police are looking for the driver of a second car, which fled the scene.
Thomas Steinert-Threlkeld, of Weston, a business journalist and avid bicyclist, was killed in the accident, police said.
His wife, Kayte Steinert-Threlkeld, wrote in a Facebook posting on Monday: "My dear husband, Tom, an avid and experienced bicyclist, was killed yesterday in Bethel ... in what apparently was a hit-and-run accident," she wrote. "Our only consolation is that Tom was doing what he loved to do, riding his bike on a beautiful day and taking photos -- and did not suffer."
Bethel Police Sgt. Stephen Pugner said Sunday that two vehicles were believed to be involved in the accident, which occurred shortly before 2:45 p.m. on Dodgingtown Road, also known as Route 302, near the Old Hawleyville Road intersection.
