Crash Sends One to Hospital

Around 2 p.m. the Westport Fire Department, Police, and EMS responded to a motor vehicle crash on Saugatuck Avenue near Charles Street/I-95 overpass. A utility truck and a passenger car crashed, then the truck crashed into the pole, which then fell on the truck. The cable and power lines caught fire about 150 feet south of the accident. One driver was taken to the hospital. DEEP was notified because the transformer on the pole leaked when it landed on the truck. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Westport Fire Dept. photos
