CT DOT

Three people suffered minor injuries in a crash on Interstate 91 in Wethersfield Wednesday morning that state police said involved six vehicles.

One of the vehicles was parked on the right shoulder when a Mercedes Benz struck it just after 6:30 a.m., state police said. After hitting the first vehicle, the Mercedes then hit another vehicle.

The driver of a Mazda tried to slow down because of the crash and was struck by a construction vehicle, according to state police, and that caused the Mazda to hit a Nissan Rogue.

Three people were taken to Hartford Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

State police said the driver of the Mercedes was found to be at fault and was cited for traveling unreasonably fast and a failure to maintain a proper lane.
