A Stamford man received a ticket Tuesday after a two-vehicle accident on Old Stamford Road in New Canaan.
Police said a landscape dump truck driven by Jose Morales, 52, of Stamford, was traveling south on Old Stamford Road at about 6:05 p.m. Police said the dump portion of Morales truck appeared to be raised and hit a Metro-North Railroad overpass. That caused Morales to lose control and collide with a car driven by a 48-year-old New Canaan woman with a 16-year-old female passenger. Police said the woman tried to avoid the collision but could not. Morales truck came to a stop on its side.
Morales was ticketed for failure to drive right and was issued an infraction from Metro-North. A 24-year-old male passenger in Morales truck bumped his head and was treated at the scene by emergency medical services.
