On Wednesday December 25, 2024, at approximately 6:45 PM, Troopers from Troop C - Tolland were dispatched to I-84 eastbound, in the area of exit 67 in the town of Vernon for an evading motor vehicle collision. The reporting party advised Emergency Dispatchers that their vehicle was struck by a purple Honda Accord, which failed to stop and continued eastbound on I-84.
After learning this information, Troopers successfully located the vehicle on I-84 prior to exit 72. The vehicle was driving erratically and failed to maintain the established lane of travel. Troopers conducted a motor vehicle stop and identified the operator as Pheak Si (DOB 11/01/1984), of Lowell, MA. The vehicle was also occupied by one other adult, and two children (2 year old and 7 month old).
After briefly speaking with Si, Troopers suspected her to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Si was requested to participate in the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which she did not perform to standard. As a result, Si was arrested and transported to Troop C for processing.
Si was charged with the following charges:
C.G.S. 14-227 - Operating Under the Influence
C.G.S. 14-236 - Failure to Maintain Lane
C.G.S. 14-224(b)(3) - Evading Responsibility at a Motor Vehicle Collision
C.G.S. 53-21 - Risk of Injury to a Child (2 Counts)
Si was later released on a $1,000 bond and scheduled to appear at Rockville Superior Court on 01/08/2025.
