1 Seriously Hurt In Violent Rollover In Berlin: Police

BERLIN, CT — State police are investigating a violent, two-vehicle rollover accident on Route 9 in Berlin Tuesday night, one that badly injured a New Britain man.

According to a state police accident report released Wednesday morning, the crash was on Route 9 South at about 7:21 p.m.

That's when a 2023 Toyota Tacoma double cab pickup, being driven by a 36-year-old Hamden man, was traveling on Route 9 South just before Exit 33 in the left lane of three, police said.

According to police, a 2018 Acura being driven by a 34-year-old New Britain man was traveling in the center lane of three to the right of the Toyota.

Police said, "for an unknown reason," the Acura veered into the left lane and collided with the Toyota pickup truck.

The Acura then collided with a guardrail on the left shoulder of the highway and then went through the guardrail, police said.

It then entered the grassy median, where police said the Acura flipped over before coming to an "uncontrolled final rest on its wheels in the grassy median."

The Toyota, police said, ended up in a "controlled final rest" on the right shoulder of Route 9 and its operator was not hurt, declining medical care at the scene.

The driver of the Acura, police said, "sustained suspected serious injuries" and was rushed to Hartford Hospital for treatment.

Anyone who may have witnessed this collision or may have camera footage of the vehicles is asked to contact Trooper Michael Dean at Troop H in Hartford at 860-534-1098 or through email at michael.dean@ct.gov.
