Route 80 Rollover: Early Morning Accident Closes Portion of Busy State Road

East Haven firefighters and police responded to a one-car accident along Route 80 in the early morning hours on Saturday.

Thankfully no one was seriously injured in a one-car accident early Saturday morning that led to a partial closure of a portion of Route 80 in East Haven.

The incident, which occurred at just about 6 a.m near the busy state route's intersection with View Street, involved a passenger car hitting an utility pole and then rolling over.

Although everyone in the vehicle was able to walk away, the crash snapped the wires attached to the poll, which required repair before the road could be fully reopened to traffic.
