Five Vehicles Collide In South Main Street Accident
By Andrew Gorosko
"At about 7:35 am Monday, at the height of the morning rush, five vehicles, including two heavy trucks, were involved in an accident at 75 South Main Street in front of Newtown Exxon Service Center.
Fortunately, the accident, which resulted in wreckage being strewn across a broad section of the road, resulted in only relatively minor injuries to one man who was driving a sedan.
Police Sergeant Aaron Bahamonde said that considering the volume of traffic on the road at that time of day and the relatively small size of several vehicles involved in the crash, it is fortunate that only one driver received relatively minor injuries in the accident.
The motorists involved in the crash were wearing seatbelts and their protective airbags deployed.
During the hour that it took to clean up the debris and tow away the damaged vehicles, police diverted traffic onto the nearby Elm Drive, allowing motorists traveling on South Main Street (Route 25) to make a quick detour around the accident scene.
Newtown Hook & Ladder firefighters and Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps members responded to the emergency.
The accident involved a heavy empty tri-axle dump truck, a tractor-trailer truck loaded with cardboard, a sport-utility vehicle, and two sedans. Each of the five vehicles carried only its driver.
The crash remains under investigation. Police expect to file charges against the tractor-trailer truck driver."
