Trees Down, Vehicles Stuck as Local Roads Flood

Westport first responders have began to experience calls to service for vehicles stuck on local roadways, roadways becoming impassable due to flooding, or trees down over roadways. No major closures have been reported as of 11:20 tonight, however drivers are advised to remain home as conditions deteriorate. The Sherwood Island Connector was closed for a short time earlier in the night as a large tree blocked both lanes, requiring the State Department of Transportation to clear the roadway. Vehicles have been reported stuck on both ends of Westport as flash floods continue.
