WESTBROOK, Conn. (WTNH) -- A Groton man faces new charges in an October 2024 fatal wrong-way crash on Interstate 95 in Westbrook.

State police said Bree turned himself in to Troop F on an arrest warrant early Tuesday morning. Bree was charged in October with DUI and reckless driving. Investigators said his blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.

Palumbo was pronounced dead at the scene. Bree was held on a court-set $1,000,000 bond and was taken to Middletown Superior Court for same-day arraignment.
