A New Haven Superior Court jury has awarded $239,000 to two men who were injured after a motorist struck their car and then fled the scene.

The six-person jury deliberated for three hours before rendering its verdict Friday afternoon.

Plaintiffs Jeffrey Frazier and Nicola Jandreau sued Safeco Insurance Co. of Illinois and Ramona Colon after a vehicle Colon once owned T-boned a vehicle that Frazier was driving in 2015 in West Haven. Jandreau was a passenger in Frazier's vehicle, which struck another vehicle and also flipped over. The driver of the vehicle that struck Frazier's car got out of the vehicle and took off after the accident, according to Alex Guziak, the Glastonbury-based attorney for Frazier and Jandreau.
