A man who reportedly admitted to police he should not have been driving because of a history of seizures has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with a crash that killed a construction worker in Hartford in June 2024.
Tommy Nguyen, 26, took a plea deal on Monday in Hartford Superior Court, pleading guilty to one count of first-degree manslaughter, according to court records.
In exchange for the plea, a number of other charges are expected to be dropped, including those of risk of injury to a minor, reckless driving, operating under suspension, transporting a child between 5 and 8 years old without the proper restraint and multiple other offenses. The deal Nguyen accepted will include a seven-year prison term followed by probation.
