UPDATED: Wellesley Man Pleads Not Guilty To Cyclist Hit-and-Run

DEDHAM, MA - A Wellesley man pled not guilty at his arraignment in regards to charges stemming from a crash that injured a Framingham cyclist Friday night in Wellesley.

Connor Campanelli, 21, of Wellesley, was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury, operating under the influence of liquor and causing a serious injury accident, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, speeding and failure to keep right for oncoming traffic.

Defense attorney Melinda Thompson did not contest the Commonwealths request to continue the $3,000 bail set over the weekend.

Dedham District Court Judge Michael Pomerole ordered Campanelli to remain drug and alcohol free with random screens; not driving during the pendency of the case.

He was ordered to return to Dedham District Court for pre-trial conference on April 21.

Campanelli is accused of striking a 47-year-old bicyclist from Framingham while they were traveling on Hampshire Road in Wellesley at approximately 6:12 p.m. on Friday, March 11.

As with all criminal defendants, he enjoys the Constitutional presumption of innocence unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The arraignment was handled by Assistant District Attorney Michael Thaler for the Commonwealth.
