5 Car Crash In Bridgeport

Bridgeport Police are busy sorting out this five car crash in the 300 block of Birmingham Street early Saturday morning around 12:35am.  Two ambulances were sent to the scene, I don’t know how many were injured at this time. It appears speed was a factor as a white (unknown type) vehicle appeared to have crashed into two vehicles before rolling over and into a yard just barely missing the house.  The force of the impact threw a tire into a parked vehicle smashing the windshield.  As I was heading back to my car I spotted another parked car that had fresh damage and I alerted the police to the car.  It was probably struck prior to the big crash.
