They are continuing to pray for their son, Kaloidis said. “They are extremely religious, and they have faith and are praying for a miracle,” he said.

Egan was charged with evading responsibility resulting in serious physical injury or death and failure to yield while turning left. He turned himself in at Waterbury police headquarters Wednesday evening, Lt. Ryan Bessette said in a statement issued Wednesday evening. Egan posted a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to be arranged in the Superior Court in Waterbury on June 12.

The investigation into the hit-and-run accident found that Egan had 16 drinks in the nine and a half hours before the crash. The teen was coming home from work on his scooter around midnight on May 26 when he was struck by a Cadillac SUV in the area of ​​West Main Street and Highland Avenue, police said.

The distinct red 2022 Cadillac XT5 that hit the teen is owned by Egan, according to the arrest warrant.

Eagn is a former parks and recreation director who was serving as the chair of the city’s Zoning Commission when the accident occurred. He resigned from the position Tuesday afternoon after the police publicly identified him as a suspect in the case.

The video shows Egan drinking for hours at Verdi, the restaurant at the Western Hills Golf Course owed by the city, before he went to The Cave to have a few more drinks, the warrant said. He left The Cave around midnight, a video from outside the building shows, and struck Calle a few minutes later, the warrant said.
