MILFORD, Conn. (WTNH) – A truck driver was charged with DUI after a motorcycle crash killed a West Haven man on I-95 in Milford Friday night.
According to state police’s initial investigation, 42-year-old Bilbraut Angel Caraballo was driving a truck towing a trailer on the northbound side of I-95 when the truck drifted into the left lane and collided with a motorcycle, just south of exit 39A.

State police pronounced Forbes dead on the scene.
According to state police, Caraballo “displayed signs of impairment” and failed a standardized field sobriety test.
