Serious damage caused in two-car crash

Two cars were heavily damaged in a crash Sunday morning at Kings Highway North and Wilton Road.

Both drivers in the accident, shortly before 8 a.m., apparently suffered only minor injuries. After evaluation by Westport, they refused to be taken to nearby hospitals.

The two vehicles, however, both suffered heavy front-end damage, according to firefighters, and had to be towed from the scene.

Firefighters on the scene spread "speedi dri" on the road surface to absorb fluids leaking from the damaged vehicles and disconnected the batteries to prevent electrical problems.

Police diverted traffic around the scene and are investigating the accident. However, no information on whether charges will be filed was immediately available.
