STATE TROOPERS INVESTIGATE TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK ROLLOVER
On 07/08/10, at approximately 2:20 p.m., a tractor trailer truck rollover was reported to Troop H - Hartford. The accident was reported on I-84 eastbound between exits 42 and 43. Due to the accident, State troopers have shut down the right lane.
The TT Unit was carrying a full load of lumber when it rolled over onto it's right side. Minor injuries were reported.
The right lane of I-84 eastbound will remain closed throughout the rush hour. The TT Unit and the lumber will also remain in the right lane throughout the rush hour. The left and center lanes will remain open. I-84 remains congested in the area of the rollover, so motorists should expect delays or seek alternate routes.
State Troopers remind motorists to make sure their vehicles are maintained and have plenty of gas. Fully charge your cell phones in case of emergency and carry drinking water.
