A woman was run over by a car and another pinned between two vehicles in a three-car accident in Meriden Tuesday night.
Meriden police said around 9:36 p.m. A Honda Odyssey and a Chevy Impala were involved in a minor accident in the area of 474 Chamberlain Highway. The driver of the Chevy, identified as Cynthia Santiago of Meriden, got out of her car to check the damage. A passenger in the Honda, identified as Feizi Wang, also exited her vehicle.
