BETHANY-WOODBRIDGE, CT — A crash on Center Road in Woodbridge on Oct. 27 left someone with what police listed as suspected serious injuries, one of eight crashes with injuries reported in Bethany and Woodbridge last month, according to preliminary state crash data.
Nobody was killed. The crashes injured 12 people: one had suspected serious injuries, six had suspected minor injuries and five had possible injuries, according to police reports in the Connecticut Crash Data Repository at UConn.
Last October, the data shows one injury crash in Bethany and seven in Woodbridge.

The pattern
Four of the eight crashes were rear-end collisions, and in two of them police cited the trailing driver for following too closely. Three were angle crashes. Two involved a single vehicle. Five of the eight happened in daylight, and all in clear or cloudy weather. The only traffic death in Bethany and Woodbridge this year came in May on Route 69 in Bethany, according to the data.
About the data
These figures are preliminary. Police reports for recent months are still being added to the state database, and counts often rise as they come in. Crashes that damaged only property aren't in the October figures yet, so this story covers crashes with injuries only.
