SOUTHBURY, CT — State police confirmed that a sergeant who was involved in a serious crash near the Waterbury-Oxford Airport Sept. 25 wasn't given a field sobriety test.
Sgt. John McDonald didn't stop at a stop sign in his unmarked Chevrolet Impala and smashed into another car, according to the Republican-American. Mother Lisa Conroy and daughter Madison were injured and state police wouldn't comment on McDonald's injuries.
