Minor injuries were reported after a tractor trailer carrying melons crashed on Interstate 91 in Middletown Wednesday morning, according to Connecticut State Police.
Police said the truck, which was carrying 75,000 pounds of watermelon and cantaloupe, went off the road into the woods near exit 21. The driver reported injuries, but police said they were not serious.
The Department of Consumer Protection was called in because of what the truck was carrying.
The right lane of the highway is closed while authorities investigate.
