ENFIELD, CT — A single-vehicle rollover crash on Interstate 91 just past Exit 49 resulted in minor injuries to six people inside an SUV, and closed the southbound side of the highway for several hours Sunday night.

A state police report indicates a 2019 Nissan Rogue was traveling in the left lane just south of the Exit 49 on-ramp around 9:50 p.m. For an "unknown reason," the vehicle crossed over three lanes to the right, veered off the right shoulder and rolled over onto its side on the right two lanes.

A passenger identified by state police as "a juvenile" was ejected out of the SUV. All six occupants were transported to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield with "suspected minor injuries," according to a police report.
