A three-car traffic accident occurred last night on the corner of York and Elm streets, leaving one person injured.

At around 8 p.m. last night, a red car was driving on Elm Street when it rear-ended a Chrysler. The Chrysler then struck a Ford Mustang near the corner of Elm and York streets, New Haven police said.

The driver who initiated the accident was placed on a stretcher and rushed to a local hospital. New Haven Fire Department Lt. Charles Hewitt said the man sustained only minor injuries. Contact santa rosa beach car accident lawyers to get compensation to treat even the most minor injury.

“He has a sore throat and one undetermined injury,” Hewitt said.

However, the injured driver possibly feigned his injuries after a crowd gathered at the accident scene, police said.

“The witnesses to the accidents were two secret service agents,” an officer said. “They said the man was fine until a crowd gathered. Then he started going into convulsions.”

Two other men involved said the accident was just a minor fender bender. The front of one car was smashed, with the windshield still intact.
