On September 29, 2023, a crash occurred near Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, involving two vehicles, an Audi and a Toyota Corolla. The Audi hit a curb, which pushed it into the westbound lane, and the vehicles collided. Six people were seriously injured, including five female students from Sacred Heart University and an Uber driver. The students were taken to St. Vincents and Bridgeport hospitals. The crash has shaken the Sacred Heart University community, and the university canceled classes on Friday morning so students could attend a prayer service. The Fairfield Police Reconstruction team is investigating the incident, and more information will be released when it becomes available.
