Life threatening injuries suspected in crash that closed I-84 Monday

Life threatening injures are suspected in a 4-vehicle crash on I-84 in Danbury yesterday afternoon.  State Police are looking for any witness to the collision that happened Westbound just before exit 1, around 2:15pm yesterday. 

Four vehicles were in the right lane when traffic began to slow for congestion.  A freightliner truck collided into the back of a car, which rolled down the right shoulder embankment and came to an uncontrolled rest against a tree.  The truck continued on the roadway, rear ending the two more vehicles in a chain reaction crash.

The truck driver, 54-year old Jon Parker of Maine, didn't suffer any apparent injury.  The drivers of the two other vehicles, didn't sustain injury either.  A passenger in one, an 80-year old New Jersey woman, was transported to Danbury Hospital with suspected minor injuries. 

There were three people in the SUV that left the roadway and rolled over.  The driver, a 32 year old Carmel man, and a passenger sustained minor injuries.  Another passenger, 41-year old Mahopac woman, sustained suspected serious injuries. 

I-84 was closed until about 8:45pm.
