A tractor-trailer rolled off Interstate 95 and crashed onto Route 1 in Milford, Conn., below after a three-vehicle collision on the highway on Thursday, April 13, 2022, police said.

MILFORD — A tractor-trailer truck that was rearended on Interstate 95 south in the city on Wednesday rolled over the metal beam guardrail and fell upside down onto Route 1 below, according to Connecticut State Police.

An accident summary provided by state police on Thursday indicated a 47-year-old Hartford man was driving in the right lane of I-95 southbound near Exit 39B in Milford when he was rearended by a 24-year-old Ansonia woman who used the right shoulder to try to pass another vehicle in front of her.
