MERIDEN, CT — A Wednesday afternoon crash on I-91 in Meriden temporarily shut down a portion of that thruway and a portion of Route 15 to allow a LifeStar helicopter to land, reports the Meriden Record-Journal.
A man was trapped inside a vehicle in the 2:30 p.m. crash and had to be extricated. LifeStar was called to the scene to transport him to Hartford Hospital.
LifeStar left the scene at about 3:15 p.m. and Route 15 was reopened. State police closed I-91 south at exit 17 for a while to allow troopers to investigate the crash, but it has been reopened.
