Today around 12:00, there was an accident that happened directly across from 50 North Street which closed both sides of the road from Deep's Market to Madison Avenue.
Between the two vehicles involved in the accident, the first vehicle, a Ford 150 (or 250), drove off with slight damage to the front-drivers side while the Buick sustained significant damage to the entire driver's side.
The firefighters on the scene had to use the "jaws of life" to get the driver of the Buick out of the car. Since I arrived on the scene, I don't know the driver's condition but I think it's safe to say that he's at the Danbury Hospital.
Here's a brief videoclip of the scene at aprox 12:30 PM.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
