Two Overnight Accidents Keep Ledyard Busy

Two separate crashes resulted in a car fire, serious injuries and a DUI.

Two separate car accidents overnight kept Ledyard's first responders busy Tuesday into Wednesday morning.

A one-car rollover on Inchcliffe Drive at 10:49 Tuesday night resulted in serious injuries to the driver (and sole occupant) of the vehicle.

A one-car crash on Route 214 early Wednesday morning resulted in a fully involved car fire, but no injuries to the driver (and sole occupant). 

Here are the details from Ledyard Police Lt. Michael Finkelstein:
