Around 1:07 a.m. Tuesday, April 4, St. Michael’s student, Evan Harwood, ’17, crashed into a utilities poll at the corner of College Parkway and Lime Kiln Road right outside of Founder’s Hall. Alcohol seemed to be a factor according to the police report.

Numerous authorities were called to the scene including Colchester police, St. Michael’s College public safety and St. Michael’s fire and rescue. Fairpoint Communications was also called to the scene to secure the utilities lines that came down resulting from the crash.
