Woman charged
in accident
PUTNAM — A Danielson woman was arrested after a two-car motor vehicle crash Dec. 17 at the intersection of Pomfret Street and High Street.
No injuries were reported and vehicle traffic was temporarily restricted to one lane as a result of the accident.
Captain Justin Lussier of the Putnam Police Department said an on-scene investigation showed that a blue 2013 Toyota Prius, operated by Crystal Lambert, 37, was traveling west on Pomfret Street and rear ended a gray 2015 Volkswagen Jetta operated by Jessica Lopez, 40, of Putnam. Lopez was stopped in the westbound lane waiting for a vehicle to exit High Street so she could make a right turn onto High Street. Both vehicles sustained disabling damage and were towed from the scene.
Lussier said Lambert was charged with operating under the influence and following too close.
