Police detail Friday's chain reaction crashes on Route 7

Police have released more detail about the Friday night crashes that sent 7 people to the hospital.  Two chain reaction accidents happened on Route 7 near the Brookfield-Danbury line. 

A car stopped in the right lane due to traffic, with two vehicles behind it.  59-year old Ze Teixeira, of Danbury, struck the rear of that last car with his pick up truck and pushed it forward into the other two.  All four vehicles were towed to the scene.  Five people sustained minor injuries.  Teixeira was charged with following too closely. 

In a separate crash, 56-year-old Fabio Cuccia rear-ended an SUV that slowed for traffic, pushing it into the next lane, which it sideswiped a car driven by a 33-year-old Brookfield man.  The Cortlandt Manor, New York man was charged for following too closely.  He and the 68-year old in the middle vehicle were transported to the hospital.

All of the vehicles involved had to be towed from the scenes.
