A crash involving 5 vehicles caused an overturned semi truck and a shutdown of Interstate 95 on Sunday evening.
The accident happened in Bridgeport, Connecticut near exit 27A at approximately 6:15 p.m.
According to News 8, 24-year-old Estee Lin was driving in the right lane of northbound I-95 when 28-year-old Erin Kelly drove up behind Lin and began tailgating her vehicle.
Kelly then crashed her car into Lin’s car, causing both vehicles to lose control. This created a chain reaction on the highway, involving two more cars in the wreck and overturning a tractor trailer hauling antifreeze.
