With Permission
Two vehicles collided yesterday when one driver ignored a corner stop sign, kept on driving, collided into another car and then flipped over, police said. Both drivers reported only minor injuries, according to Officer Chris Manner, who investigated the crash.
The accident occurred shortly after 1:15 p.m. and caused Branford police to close off Kirkham Street for about 45 minutes, Police Captain Geoffrey Morgan said.
Luke Rodney, 59, whose car flipped over, was charged with failing to obey a stop sign when he ran through the sign at the corner of Elm and Kirkham Streets. The sign went down. He faces both a fine and points against his license because he is charged with a moving violation.
Rodney collided with a car driven by Margaret Calamita, 72, who lives in North Branford.
