An Essex man was arrested after police said he’d allegedly been involved in two collisions with his car on I-691 in the Meriden area on Thursday.
Nicholas Klomp, 22, was charged with operating under the influence, evading responsibility and failure to drive a reasonable distance apart, resulting in an accident.
Police sent out a “be-on-the-lookout” call for a gray 2000 Saturn sedan after the incidents.
Troopers working in a nearby highway construction zone responded and found a Saturn sedan matching the description of the vehicle on I-691 eastbound, at the Exit 12 off-ramp. Klomp was taken into custody after failing a field sobriety test.
He was later released on $1,500 bond, and is scheduled for arraignment at Meriden Superior Court.
