Crash Victim Worked at La Amistad Bakery
Chamberlain Highway crash victim Kelvin Luna was only a new fixture in downtown
Meriden, but will be greatly missed. The 25-year-old New York man had spent the
last year working at his new wife's store, La Amistad Bakery, on East Main
Street. "He was like an uncle to me," said John Barry Elementary School third
grader Ashley Delgado, whose mother works at the Hispanic foods-focused bakery.
"He was a great man," she said, describing Luna as calm and kind. The
25-year-old was reportedly on his way to the Delgado family's home on Meriden's
west side to watch boxing on television Saturday night, Delgado said Monday,
when a 2003 Dodge 1500 pickup collided with his 2008 Toyota Yaris on Chamberlain
Highway, killing him. "We heard sirens but didn't know it was that," Delgado
said. Her family found out about the accident the next day. The impact happened
on the Berlin side of the Berlin-Meriden border, though the cars ended up across
the city line in Meriden. Berlin police are investigating the incident, and no
charges have yet been filed, according to the department's Deputy Chief John
Klett. The driver of the Dodge pickup was 32-year-old Victor Arenas of Meriden,
who was treated and released at St. Mary's Hospital in Waterbury. Police believe
Luna may have been performing a Y-turn when he was hit, because the damage to
his car is mostly on the right side, while the damage to the other vehicle is at
the front, police said Monday. Luna was reportedly a Navy veteran. He lived in
the apartment above the Bakery at 294 East Main St. with his wife, Susy, who
opened the bakery in 2007. Local business website thumbtack.com quotes Luna as
saying, "We bring joy and happiness to many families. Hundreds of people come to
our bakery every week and leave happy with their warm and fresh bread." Berlin
police are asking for anyone with information about the accident to call
860-828-7080.
