With the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announcing Thursday that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear masks indoors in most cases, Gov. Ned Lamont was quick to announce that Connecticut will enact the same standards as soon as next week. Some neighboring states, like New York and New Jersey, are still reviewing the CDC’s announcement and have not moved as quickly as Connecticut.

A Lewiston man faces several charges after his car crashed into a power pole near the north end of Prospect Avenue Saturday afternoon and rolled down a hill where it hit another vehicle.
24-year-old Michael Damon faces two counts of hit-and-run, a charge of driving under the influence and a charge of failure to have insurance.
Lewiston Police say Damon was driving his 1993 Nissan north down Prospect Avenue, near the intersection with Snake River Avenue, at about 3 p.m. Saturday when he hit a power pole on the west side of the road, causing the vehicle to slide down the hill onto Snake River Avenue where it hit a 2003 Dodge Ram pickup driven by 63-year-old Robert Cline of Clarkston. Damon then fled across the Interstate Bridge to Clarkston, where he was detained by officers.
