Two people were taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital June 19 after a truck veered off Riggs Street.

The crash happened at about 11:30 a.m. Friday.

State police said the truck was heading north when it drove into a ditch, then flipped on its side.

Both the driver, Aaron Thompson, 29, of New Haven, and passenger, Carlton Lawson, 39, of West Haven, were taken to the Yale-New Haven Hospital with neck and back pain.

The state Department of Environmental Protection responded to the scene after an unspecified amount of gasoline spilled from the truck and into a small brook near the road.

Thompson was issued tickets for speeding and for failing to stay in the proper lane.
