Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Connecticut
Collisions involving tractor-trailers can have devastating consequences, particularly when passenger vehicles are involved. The sheer size and weight of these commercial vehicles often exacerbate the severity of accidents, especially when rollovers or entrapments occur.
Interstate 91 is a heavily trafficked corridor in Connecticut, making it a hotspot for crashes during early morning hours when visibility and driver fatigue can contribute to dangerous conditions. Both commercial drivers and passenger vehicle operators must exercise caution and vigilance to reduce the risk of serious collisions.
