Why it matters

The proximity of the two incidents to the I-95/I-91 interchange also compounds the impact, as this is a notoriously busy and complex section of highway.
The details
The southbound crash, reported at 8:50 a.m., involved two vehicles and closed the left lane. The northbound crash, reported around 9:15 a.m., also involved two vehicles and closed two lanes. Connecticut State Police responded to the northbound incident and reported suspected minor injuries, but did not immediately provide details on the southbound crash.
