Nine of the 14 happened in daylight, and all in clear or cloudy weather. By road: three on Interstate 91, two on Route 3 and two on Route 99. No one has been killed in a crash in Wethersfield this year, according to the data.
About the data
These figures are preliminary. Police reports for recent months are still being added to the state database, and counts often rise as they come in. Crashes that damaged only property aren't in the October figures yet, so this story covers crashes with injuries only.
