A tragic hit-and-run incident occurred in Waterbury on September 25, resulting in the death of 37-year-old Luis Caceras. Glory Sanchez, 32, has been charged in connection with the fatal accident.
According to Lt. Ryan Bessette of the Waterbury Police Department, Sanchez faces multiple charges, including evading responsibility in an accident involving a death, criminal misrepresentation, and failure to renew her vehicle registration.
The incident took place at around 6 a.m. on Cooke and Grove Streets, where Caceras was found in critical condition. He succumbed to his injuries on October 2.
The Waterbury Police Department’s Crash Reconstruction Unit conducted an extensive investigation, gathering evidence and reviewing surveillance footage. Their efforts led to the identification of Sanchez as the driver responsible for striking Caceras and leaving the scene.

The case highlights the dangers of hit-and-run accidents and the responsibilities that drivers have when they are involved in collisions. Leaving the scene of an accident, especially when a person has been injured or killed, is a serious offense that can carry significant legal penalties.
Caceras’s family and the Waterbury community are mourning his loss, and the legal process will continue to unfold in the coming days. The outcome of this case will serve as a reminder of the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions behind the wheel.
