One woman is dead, and several others, including children, were taken to area hospitals after a multivehicle crash in Bridgeport Monday, according to police.
Two vehicles ended up in the median of Boston Avenue, and one car flipped onto its roof at the start of the afternoon rush hour Monday. Witnesses say traffic was backed up as a result.
Police say the car that flipped had one person inside and the car it crashed into had four passengers, including two children, who are being treated for their injuries. Police say the adult woman in that car died.
Police have not confirmed the cause of the crash, but witnesses say they thought one car looked like it was going fast.
"The driver of this car was speeding and hit the other car there that hit all the kids involved," said Ana Jimenez, of Bridgeport.
Police say they were bringing out special equipment to do 3D photography and News 12 heard them knock in the door of a home nearby to see if they had security video.
