Groton, CT (November 28, 2025) – A serious crash shut down the northbound Exit 89 off ramp on Interstate 95 in Groton on Thursday, November 27, Connecticut State Police said. The Connecticut Department of Transportation received the first report at about 11:48 a.m. Troopers and local crews rushed to the scene to help the injured and control the area.
Police closed the off-ramp for several hours while emergency teams worked. The closure kept northbound drivers from exiting onto Allyn Street. Crews stayed on site through the afternoon as they treated victims, cleared damaged vehicles, and documented what happened. The state later reopened the ramp at about 5:25 p.m.
Officials confirmed that the crash caused serious injuries. However, they have not said how many people were hurt or how many vehicles were involved. Police also have not released names or detailed circumstances yet.
State Police confirmed the investigation remains ongoing.
We hope those injured receive the care they need and make steady progress in recovery.
Car Accidents in Connecticut
A serious crash on a highway ramp like Exit 89 can cause many types of injuries because vehicles travel fast and space is tight. When drivers try to slow down, merge, or turn onto an off-ramp, even one impact can throw bodies forward or sideways with great force. That sudden movement often hurts people in ways they do not expect.
Victims in these crashes may face injuries such as:
- Head injuries: including concussions or other forms of brain trauma from hitting a window, steering wheel, or headrest.
- Neck and back injuries: like whiplash, herniated discs, or spinal strain caused by the jolt of impact.
- Broken bones: especially in the arms, ribs, legs, or hips when the body slams into the interior of the car.
- Chest injuries: from seat belts or airbags, which can bruise the chest or cause rib fractures.
- Internal injuries: such as organ damage or internal bleeding that may not show symptoms right away.
- Cuts and bruises: from shattered glass, metal, or loose items inside the vehicle.
- Knee and shoulder injuries: common when people brace for impact or get pinned in tight spaces.
Some injuries appear right away, but others take hours or even days to show. People often feel sore later or notice dizziness, headaches, or numbness after the shock fades. That is why doctors urge crash victims to get checked even if they think they escaped with minor harm.
Recovery from highway injuries can take time. Some people need surgery, physical therapy, or long rest periods before they can return to work or normal routines. Serious injuries may also lead to long-term pain or limits on daily movement.
Working with a compassionate car accident lawyer can help injured victims understand their rights and avoid unfair pressure from insurance companies. A lawyer can gather medical records, review crash reports, calculate the full cost of recovery, and fight for compensation that reflects both current and future needs.
This support can be especially important after a serious highway collision where injuries and expenses often grow over time.
