A tanker truck carrying gasoline caught fire in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 in southwest Connecticut, resulting in the closure of the major traffic artery connecting New England with New York. The incident occurred at 5:30 a.m. in Norwalk, causing significant damage to a bridge over I-95.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced that the bridge will need to be demolished due to the heat from the burning fuel compromising its structure. The demolition is set to begin early Friday morning, with hopes of reopening the interstate by Monday morning.
