NORTH HAVEN, CT — A motorcyclist suffered life-threatening injuries after a three-vehicle crash on I-91 in North Haven on Sunday, according to Connecticut State Police.
Troopers responded around 7:15 p.m. on July 19 to I-91 North near Exit 13 in North Haven, according to police.
Police said a U-Haul truck was traveling in the center of three lanes, while a Subaru Legacy was traveling in the left lane, and a 2023 KTM 890 Duke R motorcycle was traveling “between the left and center lanes and side-swiped” the U-Haul.
