Two vehicles in Rte. 8 crash just feet from swollen river

Two vehicles came with a few feet of the rain-swollen Naugatuck River after traveling off Route 8 Wednesday morning. State Police said the two-vehicle crash happened on southbound Route 8 in Beacon Falls. “Both vehicles traveled off of the road and down an embankment,” state police tweeted. “No injuries reported.” Photos show the vehicles about three feet from the river. Several inches of rain on Tuesday quickly rose the river and increase its flow. South Route 8 makes its way along the river through the Naugatuck State Forest. The road had a number of curves on that stretch of Route 8. Over the years, there have been several accidents that resulted with vehicles in the river.
