West Hartford Police said Friday that the driver of a vehicle involved in a collision with a moped on Thursday night near the intersection of Flatbush and New Park avenues has been arrested and faces multiple charges.

According to Assistant Chief Larry Terra, Fabrizzo Andres Gutierrez Medina, 24, of Hartford, has been charged with driving under the influence and failure to yield right of way in connection with the crash, and also faces a charge of carrying weapons in a motor vehicle.

Medina was held on $200,000 bond and arraigned Friday at GA14.
