One dead, two others injured after vehicle strikes bridge abutment in Meriden
A man was killed and two others were injured in a crash in Meriden early Friday when a vehicle struck a bridge abutment. The crash was reported at 1:43 a.m. in the area of South Colony Road and Powers Drive, according to Sgt. Michael Boothroyd of the Meriden Police Department. Boothroyd said a preliminary investigation found that a 2007 Honda Accord was being driven north on South Colony Road when it collided head-on with an Amtrak train bridge abutment. All three occupants of the Accord were taken to an area hospital. The driver, a 20-year-old man, was tended to by medics and members of the Meriden Fire Department. He succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to Boothroyd. He has not been identified. Boothroyd said the victim's family has been notified and have been cooperative with the investigation. The two passengers suffered injuries not considered life-threatening and remained in the hospital as of Friday afternoon, Boothroyd said. The bridge and train tracks were 'thoroughly inspected' and deemed safe for roadway traffic and train services, Boothroyd said. The road in the area of the crash was closed for about four hours while officials were at the scene. The crash is being investigated by the Meriden Police Accident Reconstruction Unit.
