This heavily damaged 1998 Volkswagen Jetta sedan, foreground, struck the rear end of a 2017 Nissan Rogue SUV, background, in a two-vehicle collision about 1:54 pm on September 18 on eastbound Interstate 84, just west of the Rochambeau Bridge. State police said motorist Richard Mastroianni, 68, of Woodbury, who was driving the Nissan, was approaching a slow-traffic area for a construction project, when the Nissan was struck from behind by the Volkswagen driven by Connor Smith, 22, of Cheshire. The Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps responded to the scene and checked both drivers who both refused medical treatment, state police said. Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company responded. State police issued Smith an infraction for following too closely. The incident caused travel delays on I-84. -- Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue photo
