The BMW had been traveling southbound in the area of 93 Old Stamford Road when it traveled off of the roadway and struck two trees, police said.

Two passengers from that car were transported to the Norwalk Hospital Emergency Room by New Canaan Emergency Medical Services, police said.

The passenger with the leg injury had to be extricated by the New Canaan Fire Department, police said.

Several minutes after that crash, a Volkswagen with two teens inside crashed in the same area, according to police.

The driver appeared to lose control of the car as it traveled southbound on Old Stamford Road, striking a tree and ending up on its side, police said. Neither of the individuals in that crash had to be transported to the hospital, police said.

The crashes are both under investigation and as of Monday morning no charges had been brought in either incident, police said.

  1. I am so sorry to hear about these accidents. Is there anything I can do to help the families of these young boys? I will make and deliver some dinners. Also, can I donate blood for the students in the hospital?

  2. Teenage boys driving at high speeds at night with a car full of children sounds like a scary situation. I am so glad nobody died and it sounds like the boys will recover from their injuries. It also sounds like bad judgement and that these boys should lose their drivers licenses for a time. With no consequences for this type of behavior, we are all at risk. Of course teenage boys have been reckless since the dawn of time, but the most important learnings in my teenage years came from the consequences of my actions. Are there no consequences for putting the lives of our children in danger?
