Brookfield FD Responds to Multi-Car Accident with Injuries

BROOKFIELD, CT -- Firefighters are reporting they came to the aid of eight people in a multi-car accident last week.

Members of the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company were called to the intersection of Grays Bridge Road and Old State Road, the scene of a 3-car accident, about ten minutes before 6 p.m. on June 25. They were met by members of Candlewood Company and the Brookfield Police Department.

Four of the eight people involved in the accident were transported to Danbury Hospital, and the remaining four refused treatment, the FD has reported.

Firefighters report that one female driver lost her diamond engagement ring out of the setting after her airbag deployed. Members of both fire companies assisted her brother in searching for the stone in the mass of glass and debris. After about 5 minutes the stone was located and returned to the woman, whom the FD described as "very grateful."
