• 1 Injured in I-84 Rollover Crash in Manchester (patch.com) — Drivers in Manchester faced delays Friday after a serious single-vehicle rollover on I-84 westbound near Exit 62 sent one person to a trauma center with non-life-threatening injuries. Manchester firefighters and local paramedics quickly responded, treated the patient, and briefly closed the HOV lane while the heavily damaged vehicle was righted and removed. Initial fears of a missing second occupant were later ruled out by officials.
