A 21-year-old Monroe woman turned herself in to Norwalk police Wednesday, five months and two days after investigators say she struck a pedestrian with her car and drove away without stopping to help. Carly Snyder now faces charges including evading responsibility and assault, and she was held on $60,000 bond following her arrest.
Snyder turned herself in on Wednesday to the Norwalk Police Department following an arrest warrant, according to WFSB. The warrant stemmed from a crash on June 2 at the intersection of Main Street and Plymouth Avenue, where officers responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. As reported by the Hartford Courant, Norwalk Police Department's accident reconstruction team took over the investigation, and Officer Taylor Equi served as the lead investigator who later obtained the arrest warrant through Stamford Superior Court.
Pedestrian Left Bleeding In The Road
The victim, a 34-year-old man, was found lying in the roadway bleeding and sustained serious and life-threatening injuries, according to The Hour. He was treated at the scene before being taken to Norwalk Hospital, per NBC Connecticut, which reported that the collision occurred at the Main Street and Plymouth Avenue intersection.
Police said the driver fled the scene immediately after the crash and made no attempt to stop or check on the victim's condition, the same Hour report noted. Investigators have not provided an update on the man's current condition.
Public Tips Led Police To A Green Subaru
Investigators identified the suspect vehicle as a Subaru Forester with damage to the front passenger side, police said. Days after the crash, the same report described how officers located and seized a green 2009 Subaru Forester connected to the hit-and-run with the public's assistance. With that help, investigators traced the vehicle to Monroe and identified Snyder as its operator, per the station's report.
Snyder is charged with evading responsibility, assault, tampering with evidence, and failure to yield to a pedestrian, the outlet reported. The Hartford Courant specified the charges further as evading responsibility with serious physical injury, second-degree assault with a motor vehicle, tampering with physical evidence, and failure to yield to a pedestrian. Her bond was set at $60,000, and she is scheduled to be in court Nov. 18.
A Citywide Drop In Crashes, But Pedestrians Still At Risk
The case comes as Norwalk has otherwise seen a broader decline in traffic collisions. The city recorded 2,245 crashes in 2025, a 19% drop compared to the 2,771 recorded in 2024, according to data reported by The Hour. Pedestrian-involved crashes also decreased, falling from 64 incidents in 2024 to 55 in 2025, a 14% decrease, per that same report.
Even with that downward trend, the June crash underscores how serious a single incident can be for the person struck. No court records, plea entry, or case outcome have been made public since Snyder's arrest, and her next scheduled court date remains Nov. 18.
