Car Hits House, Gas Main in Southington

One person was taken to the hospital Tuesday evening after a three-car collision in Southington during which one vehicle hit a house on Annelise Avenue, according to fire officials at the scene.

It started with a crash at the intersection of Woodberry Hill Road and Loper Street, according to Southington fire Lt. Glenn Dube. One of the cars then struck a gas main and was sitting on top of the meter when emergency responders arrived.

Yankee Gas crews were called to the scene to contain a natural gas leak and fix the gas main. Workers will rebuild the gas meter and repipe gas lines in the basement of the home on Annelise Avenue so the residents will have heat, Dube said.

No one was inside the home at the time of the crash, and the house did not suffer heavy damage, according to the fire department.

Annelise Avenue was shut down while crews responded to the crash.
