A 'Hard Working, Sweet Kid' Remembered
Joseph Borselio, 20, of Riverside, a cashier at Shop Rite on West Main Street in Stamford, had volunteered to work on his day off Sunday so that a colleague could take the day off. Usually working the 2:30 to 9 p.m. weekday shift, he worked that day from 1 to 7, and then headed off per usual on his bike.
Later that evening while pedaling north on Sheephill Road, apparently on his way to his Palmer Hill residence, Borselio was hit by a Jeep Cherokee traveling north.
The collision came just past the red stop sign at the intersection of Sheephill and the Sound Beach Avenue Extension. Police said Borselio's body was thrown into the air and onto the shoulder of the road near 93 Sheephill. He died of multiple traumatic injuries, according to the medical examiner.
COMMENT:
Maybe The Police Don't Want To Realease The Accident Report, Because They Got Some Of The Facts Wrong.
"He rode on the car for some distance," said Sgt. Timothy Berry.
Cheif David Ridberg Owes The Single Family Homeowners An Accountable Transparent Police Department That The Public Can Trust.
Accident Reports Are Public Documents Not Police Documemts.
The Public Bought The Paper And Paid For Them To Be Filled Out.
WILL THE BORSELIO FAMILY HAVE TO HIRE AN EXPENSIVE OUT OF TOWN LAWYER TO SEE THE ACCIDENT REPORT AND LEARN WHO THE 20 YEAR OLD MYSTERY DRIVER THAT KILLED JOEY IS?
The Greenwich Citizen Continues:
....According to police, the Jeep was found further along the road from Borselio's body,
telephone pole. The operator of the Jeep was standing by the vehicle and stated to police that he had collided with Borselio on his bike.The accident is under criminal investigation and the driver's identity is being withheld.
"This road is like a speedway," said Depoli, who spoke of the danger she saw to "mothers with carriages crossing the street," at the stop sign.
Borselio, who lived with his father Louis, had recently received a raise for his work as a cashier at Shop Rite on West Main Street in Stamford where he has worked for two years. "He was saving up money for college," said Ravin Malhotra, Shop Rite's front end manager. "He was a sweet kid. He would help you with anything. He was an aggressive, hard worker."
After receiving his raise, Malhotra said, "He thanked me and said, 'You take care of me.'"
Borselio was described as "everybody's friend."
"Customers looked at him as a family member," said Malhotra.
Borselio's father, Louis, reported his son had attended Cos Cob Elementary School and Central Middle School and that he had graduated from the Boces vocational high school in Westchester.
A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated Oct. 9 at St. Catherine of Siena R.C. Church in Riverside and internment followed in St. Mary's Cemetery, Greenwich.

The only reason that the driver's name hasnt been released yet, is because it is still an ongoing investigation. When the investigation is done, the police will release the information. From what I have ehard, this was a pretty complex accident, with alot of evidence that needs to be gone over. As far as the driver not getting a sobriety test, where are you getting your information? The only reason I can think of that he wouldnt have gotten one at the scene, was he was just in a car accident, and my guess was strapped to a backboard, and loaded into an ambulance rather quickly. Getting a blood alcohol level from the hospital now means getting a warrant, which takes time.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason he was transported to an "out of town" hospital was because that was the closest hospital.
If you want to be considered a serious journalist, you really should check your facts.
Dear Grinder,
ReplyDeleteThe is a very poor investigation considering the 20 Year Old Mystery Driver killed someone.
But in Greenwich when someone wealthy involved in a death the police have had a record of being intimidated.
This has happened from Moxley to Kissel. Ussually someone from out f town has to step in and clean up the mess.
It is wrong that the 20 year old mystery driver was not charged with leaving the scene.
Just last Friday,Dwayne Lawlor of East Putnam Ave., was arrested and charged with evading responsibility after leaving the scene of a three-car accident.
No one was injured in the crash, and Lawlor returned to the scene 45 minutes later and told police he had been involved in the accident.
Lawlor was taken into custody and is being held on $250 bond.
However, the police had to go out and find the 20 year old mystery driver who left a dead man in middle of the road.
The 20 year old mystery driver had was found crashed into a telephone pole.
The only difference between the 20 year old mystery driver who killed a man and Mr. Lawlor is money.
Mr. Lawlor had trouble coming up with $250 and was placed in jail for leaving the scene of an accident with no injuries.
If this had happened in Stamford and the 20 year old mystery driver was not charged we would still know the name of the driver of the SUV that killed Joey, because the Stamford Police department is not intimidated by wealthy families.
please read this quote from Lt. Sean Cooney, the spokesman for the Stamford Police Department:
"The names of the operators are fairly quickly released because it's part of a police document, which is a matter of public record,"
Stamford Police Lt. Cooney said every police department in the state is required to fill out an accident information report after a motor vehicle accident takes place. The cover of that report lists the names of every individual involved in the accident and it is almost always made available to the public, even in the case of a fatal motor vehicle accident
If the CT state Police were in charge of investigating this death and the 20 year old mystery driver was not charged we would know who was behind the weheel of the car that killed Joey.
When State Police investigate a fatal motor vehicle accident, they also release the names of everyone involved.
Sgt. Chris Johnson, a State Police public information officer, said their main concern is ensuring the victim's name is not released until troopers are certain the family has been notified. Once that occurs, Johnson said the identities of everyone involved becomes public information.
The state Police are not influenced or intimidated by wealthy or well connected famlies like the Greenwich Police Department is.
"Once all notifications have been made for the deceased person, the information on the accident information summary is released," says State Police Sgt. Johnson.
Just about every one in town agrees with this proffessors who teaches men ans women to be Police Officers for a living.
Jospeh Pollini, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan and former New York Police Department lieutenant commander, said in his experience the name of a driver involved in a fatal accident who is a suspect in the death is almost always released, except in rare cases.
"In the case of the identity of a suspect, I find that somewhat odd," Pollini said of the situation in Greenwich. "I spent 30 years with the New York City Police Department and once we identified the name, it was released unless it was a weak case."
Or if it is the Greenwich Police Department afraid of wealthy or well connected family.
20 Year Old Mystery Man did not even stop to call 911 for Joey, he left that job for a lady in another car who was shocked to find a body laying at the entrance of somebody's drive way.
And Grinder those are the facts my dear Grinder. Thank you for reading Greenwich roundup and it was a pleasure educating you about how the Greenwich Police Department shows favoritism and fails to handle public documents properly.
Hopefully as more Greenwich Citizen's learn what is really going on at their police department they will demand that Police Chief David Ridberg makes much needed changes.
