Flying Bed Cover Causes Crash On Highway In Northern Connecticut

UNION, CT — A flying piece of bed linen made for a restless night for one driver on a stretch of highway in northern Connecticut over the weekend.

According to a state police crash report, a 2003 Toyota Camry with a 54-year-old Lowell, MA, man behind the wheel was headed east near Exit 72 in Vernon at 12:18 p.m.Saturday. What was described by troopers as a "bed cover" flew off a pickup truck just ahead of the Camry and landed on it, according to a crash report.

It blocked the driver's view and the car crashed, state police said.

No injuries were reported.
