Two hit and run accidents in the area are under investigation. Newtown Police are searching for a driver who crashed into an ambulance on Botsford Hill Road near South Main Street Friday afternoon.
The ambulance was responding to an emergency call around 2:15pm when it stopped to turn left onto South Main. A box truck stopped, but a passenger vehicle tried to go around that vehicle and hit the right front corner of the ambulance, causing minor but discernible damage.
State Police are looking for the driver of a cargo van that hit a Jeep on I-84 early Sunday morning. The incident happened near Exit 1 westbound shortly before 5:20am, in the center lane. A van tried to pass the Jeep Grand Cherokee on the right and sideswiped the passenger side.
No injuries were reported.
