BRIDGEPORT — Former Democratic state Sen. Ed Gomes, 84, is in critical condition after a collision on Boston Avenue on Sunday night, according to relatives and city officials.
“He had head injuries. ... He pulled through his operation. He’s not really out of the woods, yet,” one of Gomes’ brothers, William Aranjo, said Monday afternoon.
“We’re just praying for the best,” said the former state legislator’s niece, Latoya Johnson-Aranjo, Monday. While she described him as a very tough man, “he’s not 20 years old.”
