Police: Car hits house on Platt Street in Ansonia

ANSONIA - Police are investigating a motor vehicle accident that occurred at 7:40 a.m. Friday on Platt Street, Lt. Patrick Lynch said in a release today.

Police responded to an accident where a car struck a house at 75 Platt St., across the street from the police department. 

Officers found a 2003 Hyundai Sonata drove off the road through a fence at 81 Platt St. into the front yard before coming to a rest between a cement wall and 75 Platt St.

Surveillance video from the police department showed the vehicle traveling west on Platt Street at a high rate of speed fail to stop for the stop sign at Platt, Jewett, and Elm Streets. The Hyundai then went through the fence and rolled over at least once before coming to a final rest. 

Two people occupied the Hyundai, the driver, a 35-year-old female city resident and a passenger, a 40-year-old New Haven man. Police said they were treated at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
