Several crashes are causing a nightmare of a commute in the Hartford area on Friday morning, causing congestion on three of the four major arteries in the city.
A state Department of Transportation worker was thrown from a work truck when it rolled over on Interstate 91 north in Hartford and people were taken to the hospital, according to state police. The injuries are not life-threatening, according to officials.
State police said the crash involved a car and truck in the area of exit 27, or Brainard Road, and the truck rolled over. Three lanes were closed, causing backups for miles. The scene has cleared, but there are residual delays to Middletown.
Traffic on Interstate 84 East is stop-and-go between Hartford and Farmington after a three-car crash near exit 48. Two lanes are blocked.
Another two-car crash has closed the center lane of I-84 West at exit 58 in East Hartford and traffic is backed up to Manchester.
