9:25am–#Bridgeport CT–It was a wild scene on Salem Street and through the backyards near St. Vincent’s Hospital tonight. A mini van appeared to have sideswiped a sedan at the intersection of Salem and Anson Street. The minivan continued through the parking lot an into the backyards of about 3-4 houses. The minvan hit parked car and did not stop until hit hit a house at Salem and Marion Street. There were three children in the minvan, one was ejected from the van. Witnesses told me the man fled the scene on foot with the two other children. He tried to get the other child but bystanders would not let him leave with the child. Witnesses said his name was Carlos and works for St. Vincent’s Hospital. The child was transported by ambulance code two which means it is NOT life threatening injuries. The owner of the house that was hit said it was so loud and so sudden even her dog didn’t bark at the commotion. The home sustained significant damage to the porch and possibly even to the foundation. The building inspector was called to the scene. The van just missed hitting three propane tanks.
