NBC Connecticut

Connecticut State Police are looking for witnesses to a tractor-trailer crash on Interstate 91 south in East Windsor Tuesday.

Police said two commercial vehicles crashed near exit 44 around 1:25 p.m. As a result, a tractor-trailer crossed over the center median, caught fire, and ended up rolled over on the other side of the highway.

The driver escaped with what fire officials described as minor injuries.

A witness told NBC Connecticut he heard an explosion while in the area.

The crash caused closures on both sides of the highway. The northbound side of the highway, where the truck came to a stop, was closed for around seven hours.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or who has video is encouraged to contact Troop H at 860-534-1062.
