At approximately 5:55 a.m. on Friday, December 2, dispatcher sent first responders to the intersection of the Hartford Turnpike and Dixwell Avenue. As reported by WTNH News, a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was westbound on Dixwell Avenue when it struck a 2005 Toyota RAV4. The vehicles then careened into two others – a 1999 Honda Civic and a 2005 Chevrolet Outlander.

Multiple Victims Taken to Hospital

Both occupants of the Hyundai needed extrication. A total of four individuals required transport to Yale-New Haven Hospital, including two in the Hyundai. A 43-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman in the Hyundai suffered serious injuries. A 40-year-old woman in the Toyota and a 30-year-old man in the Honda suffered unspecified injuries. The multi-vehicle wreck closed Dixwell Avenue until midday Friday.
