A state trooper crashed into a tree in Seymour on his way home from the police barracks Thursday morning, possibly due to fatigue, according to state police.
Police said the trooper, a member of State Police Troop A based in Southbury, struck a tree on Moss Avenue between Old Ansonia and Summer Hill roads around 9:40 a.m. while returning to his home in Seymour.
The trooper was alone in the vehicle and was not injured.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash, but state police said the preliminary investigation indicates fatigue may have played a part.
