Stonington, CT (December 29, 2025) – On Sunday, December 28, a collision involving a passenger vehicle and a tractor-trailer temporarily disrupted travel on Interstate 95 in Stonington. Officials reported that the crash resulted in at least one minor injury and required an emergency response.
The crash occurred around 8:46 p.m. in the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 between Exits 91 and 90. According to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, the two-vehicle collision prompted an initial closure of all southbound lanes.

Truck Accidents in Connecticut
Truck accidents in Connecticut can lead to all sorts of complex injuries, even when officials initially describe them as minor. The size and weight of tractor-trailers create strong impact forces that place occupants of smaller vehicles at higher risk. Highways like Interstate 95 see frequent commercial traffic, which increases the potential for serious harm when crashes occur.
Victims involved in truck accidents may face a wide range of injuries, depending on speed, angle of impact, and vehicle intrusion. Possible injuries may include:
- Neck and back injuries, such as whiplash or soft tissue damage
- Head injuries, including concussions caused by sudden impact
- Spinal injuries, which may affect mobility and require long-term care
- Broken bones, often involving arms, legs, or ribs
- Internal injuries, which may not appear immediately after the crash
- Bruising and lacerations, caused by seatbelts, airbags, or broken glass
Even injuries labeled as minor can worsen over time. Symptoms may appear days after a collision and require follow-up treatment, physical therapy, or time away from work. Medical costs and recovery demands can place added stress on injured individuals and their families.
Truck accidents also involve complex legal issues. These cases may include commercial insurance policies, driver regulations, and company responsibility. Because of these factors, many injured victims choose to speak with a truck accident lawyer to understand their rights and next steps.
A truck accident lawyer can help review crash reports, examine trucking records, and explain what compensation may be available. Potential compensation may address medical expenses, lost wages, pain related to injuries, and future care needs.
