Weather forecast:
1. Motorist Injured In Serious Norwich Crash; Highway Reopens: State Police (patch.com) — Drivers in Norwich faced major delays Tuesday after a serious single-car crash on I-395 near Exit 18 left one motorist badly injured and airlifted by Life Star. State police closed the highway between exits 14 and 18 for several hours to investigate, reopening the road by mid-afternoon.
2. Chief, Deputy Chief Re-elected to Lead Shuttered Fire Department in Norwich, CT (firehouse.com) — Norwich’s Yantic Fire Engine Co. No. 1 has re-elected Chief Robert “Bobby” Allen and Deputy Chief Frank Blanchard to lead the department even while it remains shut down under a city order. The volunteer company, with 58 active members, is fighting the city’s Unified Command policy in court while trying to keep morale, training, and community support strong.
3. Here's when food trucks in Norwich need a fire marshal inspection (norwichbulletin.com) — Food trucks operating in Norwich will soon need a $50 annual fire marshal inspection and permit under a newly approved city ordinance, with inspections starting by July 1. City leaders say the change helps a now fully staffed fire marshal’s office keep up with rising food truck numbers and ensure propane, generators, and kitchen equipment are safely maintained at local events and around town.
4. High school roundup: Deon leads Lancers past Falcons in boys' lacrosse (theday.com) — Norwich athletes had standout performances, with Norwich Free Academy’s girls’ lacrosse rolling past Griswold/Norwich Tech and Norwich Tech’s Olivia Hoagland medaling in boys’ golf. The roundup also highlights strong showings from nearby ECC schools in lacrosse, softball, tennis, and golf, giving local fans a quick snapshot of how regional rivals are stacking up.
