Five people were trapped when a van drove through a stop sign, crashed into another car and rolled onto its hood in Hamden Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The van, driven by Christina Calise, 25, went through a stop sign and collided with another car near the intersection of Ridge Road and Haverford Street around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to police.
After the collision, the van rolled onto its hood, trapping five people inside. Police said the van was carrying disabled day campers.
Hamden fire and police officials worked alongside an unidentified Good Samaritan to free the occupants, all of whom were transported to Yale-New Haven hospital.

Calise was cited for failure to obey a stop sign, police said.
