WINDSOR, CT — A five-vehicle crash on I-91 in Windsor sent several people to the hospital early Sunday morning, according to the Connecticut State Police.

The crash occurred at around 6:49 a.m. near Exit 37 on I-91.

According to state police, the crash involved a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox LT, a 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross LE, a 2020 Nissan Sentra SV, a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta and a 2017 Honda Civic.

State police said the Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Volkswagen were slowing or stopped in traffic when the Honda, which was driven by a 32-year-old from Springfield, Mass., and traveling in the center lane at a high rate of speed, took evasive action to avoid the Mitsubishi and struck the rear of the Chevrolet.

The drivers of the Mitsubishi and Honda, along with the driver and a passenger of the Nissan, were taken to hospitals for evaluation with reported minor injuries.
