Truck Takes Out Stairs in Crash at Fairfield Beach House: Report

FAIRFIELD, CT — A Fairfield University student was hospitalized after his pickup truck, which went airborne after going over a hump in the road, struck a parked car, some rocks and took out the front stairs of a Fairfield Beach Road home, according to multiple reports.

The Connecticut Post reports that Peter Jones, 25, of New Jersey, was taken to the hospital after complaining of shoulder pain and a possible broken collarbone.

The accident occurred shortly after the Super Bowl ended on Sunday night and just before dozens of students spilled into the street on their way back to campus from parties along the beach, according to the Fairfield Daily Voice.

The Daily Voice reports Jones was operating at a high rate of speed and the truck hit the stairs with such force that it lost its front wheels.

No charges were filed, but police are continuing to investigate the crash, according to the Post.
