Pedestrian injured, Edwin Alvarez, 56, arrested for allegedly interfering with emergency personnel after crash on Ocean Avenue in New London, Connecticut

A male pedestrian sustained life-threatening injuries after a vehicle struck him in New London and another man is under arrest in a struggle with officers. It's unclear whether Alvarez was connected to the pedestrian injured or the accident and police did not say what the man's reason for interfering was. He was transported to Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London and then airlifted by LifeStar to Yale-New Haven Hospital. As New London firefighters treated the injured pedestrian at the scene and emergency personnel were trying to get him to the hospital, Edwin Alvarez, 56, of New London, started to "interfere" with emergency responders, police said. A motor vehicle going southbound on Ocean Avenue near the intersection with Blydenburg struck the man, who was in the travel portion of the road, witnesses told police.
