Good morning, Hartford. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 1st of July.

ACCIDENTS NEWS

  • On Sept. 21, 2023 at 1:10 a.m., Katherine Colon was fatally struck by a speeding police SUV in New Britain—she was crossing West Main Street—while her family held a community cookout to honor her memory and call for justice.  FOX61

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Connecticut lawmakers made changes to an old towing law after drivers said high fees and fast tows hurt them. The new law will take effect Oct. 1 and gives drivers more time to fix parking mistakes — it does not solve all the problems raised by affected drivers.  CT Mirror
  • Connecticut firms spent more than $28.4 million lobbying state lawmakers and agencies in the first quarter of 2025. Major groups, including hospitals, energy companies, banks, realtors and local governments — led by the Connecticut Hospital Association’s $1.45 million spending — drove a record push to shape state decisions.  Connecticut Post

SPORTS NEWS

  • NFL quarterback Tim Boyle held his fifth football camp on Saturday at Xavier High School where kids from 5th to 12th grade learned fundamentals from him and Packers wide receiver Cornelius Johnson — a Greenwich native — along with other coaches. Boyle said he held the camp to give back while he prepares for Titans training camp in a few weeks.  WFSB-TV
