9:02pm--#Bridgeport CT--At least 3 people were transported to the hospital with non -life threatening injuries after a rollover crash.  Witnesses tell me  the gray SUV had the green light and that the driver had just dropped off their child prior to the crash.  Firefighters  were called but not needed as everyone was able to get out of the vehicles on their own.  There are city closed circuit cameras at the intersection which I'm sure will be used in the investigation.
