Prison van slams into UConn Health building in West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD — A prison van slammed into a building in West Hartford Monday morning. It happened at the UConn Health building on Kane Street just after 10:30 a.m.

Workers were evacuated from the building as a precaution, but later let back in.

One inmate was in the white correctional department van it when it happened. The van appeared to be too tall for clearance under the building. Police say the clearance was not posted on the entrance to the parking area.

According to the Department of Corrections, an inmate was being transported to the health center for a scheduled out-patient procedure.

No one was hurt.
