A collision between a car and a fuel delivery truck in Connecticut on Friday sparked a massive blaze on a major highway bridge, temporarily shutting down Interstate 95 as firefighters worked to contain a fire that jump onto adjoining land.
“This was a tragic accident at 11:15 this morning,” Governor Ned Lamont said on Friday during a press conference. “It looks like a passenger vehicle tire blew out, creating an incident” with "billowing smoke, incredible flames, pouring right down through the pipes, spilling out into the Thames River,” he added.
