Late Sunday morning, a fatal motorbike accident happened in Bristol, sadly killing a 35-year-old local citizen. About 11 a.m., emergency responders and the Bristol Police Department’s Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team arrived on Mountain Road.
Initial results show that a motorbike headed west on Pine Street turned onto Mountain Road. Not able to negotiate a curve, the rider ran across an approaching Honda CRV headed eastbound. For the 35-year-old motorbike operator later known as Peter Speranza, the crash proved fatal.
