Ansonia Crash Sends Man To Hospital

A waiting area for Metro-North riders was damaged yesterday after a man driving a large Ford pick-up truck backed into it.

No one was in the booth at the time.

The crash happened at about 12:51 at the Ansonia train station on West Main Street.

The driver, while in reverse, managed to drive over a curb, onto the grass, through a bush and into the booth.

The driver, a Seymour resident, was incapacitated and was put into an ambulance at 1:10 p.m.

Ansonia police believe the driver suffered from some sort of medical episode while at the wheel.
