Man Critically Injured After Crashing Car

A swerving, fast-moving driver slammed his Honda Accord into a utility pole and is now in the hospital, critically injured.

The crash occurred slightly before 9 p.m. Monday.

Here’s what happened, according to police spokesman Officer David Hartman:

A caller told 911 dispatchers that an apparently intoxicated man had left a liquor store, gotten behind the wheel of a Honda Accord, and sped off on Whalley toward Blake Street.

Moments later, the driver of the car was spotted traveling at a high rate of speed and swerving,” then ignoring a traffic red-control signal and crashing into a utility pole at Valley and Blake streets.

The 36-year-old driver was rushed to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where his condition is listed as critical.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the police Crash Investigation Team at 203 – 946-6316.
