West Hartford police arrest woman in connection with hit-and-run crash that killed Hartford teen this spring

A Hartford woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash on Albany Avenue in West Hartford nearly three months ago.

Sharon Esson, 52, turned herself in Wednesday to West Hartford police and was charged with evading responsibility from a crash that resulted in a death, police said Thursday.

The crash happened early the morning of April 10, when a car apparently struck 19-year-old Isaac Alvarez while he was walking along Albany Avenue near Bainton Road, police said at the time.

He was not found until just after 7 a.m., however, when a jogger noticed what appeared to be a dead person in the grassy area near the intersection there, police said.
