Family of Tow Truck Driver Killed in North Haven Hit-and-Run Calls for Justice

The family of tow truck driver Chris Russell, who was killed in a hit-and-run in North Haven in May 2022, is calling for justice. Russell lost his life after stopping to help another driver on Interstate 91 when Luis Resto struck and killed him while allegedly operating a vehicle under the influence of heroin. Resto recently took a plea deal in New Haven Superior Court, pleading guilty to charges including manslaughter.

Russell’s family expressed disappointment with the outcome, feeling that Resto should have received a harsher punishment. They are concerned that the plea deal may result in a shorter sentence for Resto. Despite their loss, the family is fighting for justice for Russell and advocating for stronger protections for tow truck drivers.

Friends, family, and members of the tow truck community plan to show support at Resto’s sentencing on April 2 at New Haven Superior Court. While they cannot bring Russell back, they hope to honor his memory and continue fighting for the safety of tow truck drivers in the future.
