Weston, a small town in Fairfield County, has a quieter road network compared to its neighboring communities. However, several local corridors—especially Route 57 (Weston Road and Georgetown Road)—have been the site of serious and even fatal accidents. Police reports and news coverage highlight stretches and intersections where crashes are most common.
Major Routes and Intersections with Crash History
- Route 57 (Weston Road and Georgetown Road)
The main artery through Weston, Route 57, has been the site of numerous serious and fatal crashes over the years. - Route 57 near School Road
In 2009, a driver lost control of a stolen vehicle and crashed on Weston Road near School Road, resulting in a fatality. - Route 57 between White Oak Lane and Calvin Road

In June 2025, Weston emergency crews responded to a single-car rollover down an embankment in this area, highlighting the risks posed by high speeds and road curves. - Route 57/136 Intersection (Weston Road/Easton Road/Main Street)
This complex, multi-directional intersection has long been considered confusing and dangerous. Safety upgrades are planned, including the installation of a full traffic signal to improve driver clarity. - Old Mill Road
In 2012, police described Old Mill Road as one of the town’s “most treacherous” roads due to frequent crashes, although none were fatal at the time.
Contributing Factors
- Road design and congestion – Outdated layouts at major intersections and along busy stretches of Route 57 contribute to driver confusion and accidents.
- High speeds – Excessive speed is frequently cited in the most serious and fatal crashes.
- Traffic volume – While Weston is smaller than nearby towns, heavy traffic on Route 57 and at key junctions increases the likelihood of collisions.
- Investigation techniques – The Weston Police Department uses trained accident reconstruction teams after serious incidents to determine causes and recommend improvements.
Stay Alert, Stay Safe
Although Weston’s roads are less crowded than those in larger towns, key routes like Route 57 pose significant risks. Drivers should slow down, remain alert at intersections, and take extra caution on curves and narrow stretches.
