A moose chase that began in Stamford yesterday morning came to a tragic end when the animal collided head-on with a car on the Merritt Parkway.
Advertisement The driver, a 51-year-old New Hampshire woman driving alone, was rushed to Norwalk Hospital shortly after the accident at 3:48 p.m., according to state police on the scene and the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The driver was responsive when rescuers pulled her from the Subaru Impreza wagon, said state police Sgt. Ron Nihill, the public information officer for Troop G in Bridgeport. The extent of her injuries was unknown last night.
Police did not identify the woman because they had not yet contacted her relatives.
The moose darted out of the woods and crossed over the northbound lanes and the median before crashing onto the Subaru, which was heading south just past Exit 37, Nihill said.
The moose survived the accident but was badly hurt, he said.
