A two-car accident on I-95 North at 2:30 p.m. today sent two people - an elderly woman and a young teenage boy - to Yale-New Haven Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The elderly woman driver "probably" fractured her leg, in addition to some other trauma, said East Haven Battalion Chief Robert Celentano. He said the boy, though "conscious and alert," was transported to Yale-New Haven for evaluation as well.
The accident happened on the Saltonstall Bridge, which is on the border of East Haven and Branford, said Celentano. Traffic was reduced to one lane but by 4 p.m. the area had cleared up, he said.
