ANSONIA — First responders said a vehicle involved a rollover crash that shut down a stretch of Route 8 over the weekend ended up about 75 feet down an embankment off the highway.
Ansonia’s Eagle Hose, Hook and Ladder Company No. 6 responded to a report of a single car crash in the high-speed lane of Route 8 north just before Exit 19 around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23.
The first arriving unit reported one car in the high-speed lane. Seconds later, that same fire unit reported a pickup truck about 75 feet down an embankment.
Two people inside the vehicle “miraculously” escaped despite heavy damage, fire officials said. They were transported to the hospital by Ansonia Rescue and Medical Services personnel.
While crews worked to stabilize the vehicles and clear the crash site, the highway’s northbound lanes were shut down until roughly 10:10 p.m.
