Alcohol suspected in Danbury crash into building, firefighter injured in subsequent crash

A car crashed into the Greater Danbury Community Health Center building in Danbury early Monday morning, and an emergency responder on scene was hit during a subsequent accident.  Police say a driver was headed northbound, struck the center median in front of St. Peter Church, crossed both lanes and crashed into a railing and shrubbery at 120 Main Street. 

The accident happened shortly after midnight.  Police say the engine compartment caught fire and was put out by responding officers with fire extinguishers. 

Evidence in the vehicle suggests alcohol was involved.

The investigation is ongoing, as the operator was transported to the Danbury Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. 

Danbury Police say soon after fire department personnel arrived to assist, a second accident occurred.  A firefighter was hit by an EMS vehicle at the scene and transported to the Danbury Hospital with minor injuries.
