A Danbury man is facing some serious charges after allegedly crashing into several cars including a New York State Police car Friday morning (April 27).

Police say that at about 10:00 AM on April 27, 2018, 29-year-old Christopher Hillman of Danbury, CT was driving a 2005 Peterbuilt Tractor Trailer in the northbound middle lane of Interstate 684 in Bedford, New York. He allegedly struck a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta, which was travelling directly in front of him and then crashed into a Patrol car that was pulled over on the right shoulder for a vehicle and traffic stop.
