State Troopers Accuse Weston Man In Fatal April Crash

WESTON, CT — State police have arrested a Weston man in connection to a fatal crash along the shoulder of the Merritt Parkway last April.

Troopers accuse Dean Robert, 47 of Weston, of driving while under the influence when he crashed into several cars along the shoulder of the highway and killed tow truck driver Corey John Iodice, 58.

Police said Iodice's tow truck, owned by Fairfield-based Iodice Family Transport LLC, along with two other vehicles, a 2008 Mercedes and a 2010 Audi, were stopped in the right shoulder on Route 15 southbound just south of Exit 48.

The Mercedes was disabled and being loaded onto the flatbed portion of the tow truck at the time of the accident, police said.

Robert posted a $250,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 26.
