Video Report–Three Fairfield University Students Rescued From Long Island Sound

@FairfieldU--Firefighters from Fairfield rescued three Fairfield University students who drifted about one and a half miles from land Assistant Fire Chief Scott Bisson told me.  He said they were very lucky to have made cellphone contact to rescues workers.  The women were able to stay on the line and remained calm, assisting in helping locate them.   Cellphone reception at sea can be very spotty. At first it was thought they were at the point near St. Mary's by the Sea and drifting out.  The gusty winds quickly blew them further out past the lighthouse.  None of the students were wearing any life preservers.  There were no injuries.

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.
