A Connecticut State Police trooper was injured after swerving to avoid a box truck on I-395 North in Killingly on Tuesday evening, according to state police.
The crash happened near Exit 41 around 6:17 p.m. State police said Trooper Trainee Justin Tetreault, 23, of Danielson, was driving a 2024 Ford Interceptor Utility in the left lane with its emergency lights and sirens on.
A box truck traveling in the right lane began merging into the left lane directly in the path of the Interceptor, according to the crash report.
Tetreault swerved partially into the median to avoid hitting the truck and lost control of his vehicle, state police said. The Interceptor then struck a metal beam guide rail and a concrete bridge wall in the center median.
Tetreault was injured and treated at Day Kimball Hospital. The Interceptor was towed from the scene.
State police identified the driver of the box truck as an 18-year-old from Wallington, New Jersey. He was found at fault and was issued an infraction for failure to maintain the proper lane.
A Level 2 commercial vehicle inspection was also conducted on the box truck. Inspectors discovered multiple out-of-service violations, and the truck was towed from the scene.
