$This compact car received heavy front-end damage in a two-vehicle accident that occurred on South Main Street near its southern intersection with Elm Drive at about 11:25 am on August 6. Police said motorist Megan Chervansky, 29, of Sherman was driving a 2004 Acura TSX sedan southward on South Main Street and then slowed in preparing to make a left turn into a driveway at 79 South Main Street, when the Acura was struck from behind by southbound motorist Blake McCoy, 26, of Bridgeport, who was driving a 2010 Toyota Corolla sedan. Both drivers reported pain as a result of the impact, police said. The Acura was carrying a 2½-year-old child as a passenger, according to police. The Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps and Newtown Hook & Ladder volunteer firefighters responded to the accident. Police said they issued McCoy an infraction for failure to drive a reasonable distance apart and for driving without a license. (Gorosko photo)$
