A single car crash closed Berkshire Road in Newtown on Sunday afternoon for about two hours. Firefighters and paramedics responded to a report of a vehicle off the roadway, with the driver unconscious. A nurse on the scene reported that she was unable to find the pulse of the elderly man. Police were first on scene and said the 73-year-old was unconscious, but had a pulse. The car was headed east, but continued straight on a curve and crashed into a stone wall before stopping. The driver was transported to the hospital. The road was closed while police conducted an investigation, and while a wrecker responded. Frontier and Eversource were also notified due to damage to a utility pole.
