Tractor-Trailer Rollover Blocked I-91 In Wethersfield

A tractor-trailer rollover early this morning that closed I-91 south near Exit 25N occurred as the driver sipped on a cold beverage, state police said.

No one was injured in the crash ten minutes after midnight, state police said. But the tractor-trailer blocked all southbound lanes of the highway, state police said.

The driver, Edward Bradt, 42, was having a cold beverage when the vehicle veered off the road and struck the Exit 25N sign head-on, state police said.

He tried gaining control by steering toward the left, but struck a pole off the shoulder, state police said.

Witness To Cromwell Homicide Still In Hospital

A key witness to a double homicide at a local bar in February may never get to testify.

Kenneth Lewis, 24, of West Hartford, who was grazed by a bullet at Cocktails on the Green on Feb. 10, was seriously injured in a one-car accident in Cromwell last month and is reportedly in a coma in Hartford Hospital.

Due to privacy laws, the hospital wouldn't release his condition this week, and family members who answered the phone at Lewis' home also declined to comment. But Lewis remains listed as a patient at the hospital.

Several Fatal Crashes Over Holiday Weekend

Despite more troopers on the road and more sobriety checkpoints, this past 4th of July weekend was deadly, with at least seven fatalities on state and town roads, state police said.

'We had none last year,' state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said Monday. 'There's no rhyme or reason. We had extra people out there, our ticket numbers were up. We're doing everything we can do.'

Vance said police were unsure whether traffic would be heavier or lighter this holiday, given the high price of gasoline. But as it turned out, traffic volume was heavy throughout the weekend, which may have contributed to the high number of deadly accidents.

I-91 Closed In Wethersfield

A motor vehicle accident on I-91 Friday morning caused authorities to close the northbound highway lanes.

The state Department of Transportation estimated the northbound lanes would be closed for at least a couple of hours.

State police say motorists traveling north on I-91 just look for alternate routes before they reach exits 22 to 24.

A multiple vehicle accident, with injuries, happened about 7:11 a.m. Friday, according to state Trooper William Tate.

The northbound lanes of the highway are backed up from exit 24 to about exit 20. Traffic is being diverted off I-91 at exit 24 onto the Silas Deane Higway, Tate said.

Developer Resubmits Plan In Wethersfield

- A Berlin developer who wants to demolish three barns on the site of the Comstock, Ferre & Co., has resubmitted his development plan to the town, weeks after a Hartford Superior Court judge ruled his application was flawed. Developer Thomas Coccomo with C-P Equity Holdings will appear today in the community center at 7:30 p.m to re-present his plan to the historic district commission.

Despite fierce opposition from residents living in the historic district, the commission approved Coccomo's plan last year to knock down three barns on the site, including a 19th- century red barn with hand-hewn post and beams, to build a retail and residential development.
