Police UPDATE:

On Sunday 09/20/20 at 2045 hours, the Fairfield Police Emergency Communications Center received a 911 call reporting that a vehicle had just collided into a tree near the Traffic Circle, just east of McDonald’s located at 536 Post Road.

On scene, Officers located a red Volkswagen Beetle in the grassy portion of the traffic circle esplanade, where Post Road and Kings Hwy Cutoff intersect. Officers discovered heavy front end damage and found the operator of the vehicle laying on the ground nearby. The operator, identified as a 21 year old Weston Resident was boarded and collared by AMR and FFD personnel. He was transported to Bridgeport Hospital for evaluation. Police later learned his injuries were non-life threatening.  There were no other occupants in the vehicle.

The preliminary findings of the investigation determine that the operator had been traveling West on the Post Road as it entered the Traffic Circle. It appears the operator could not negotiate the right turn and veered off the road. Police are investigating if speed or alcohol played a factor.  This MVA is currently under investigation by the Fairfield Police Crash Reconstruction Unit.
