A Series of Accidents is Backing up Traffic on I95 South From Guilford to New Haven

UPDATED: Just as emergency officials were clearing an earlier accident on Interstate 95 two more accident occurred on the highway and are backing up traffic in the area, one in Guilford and the other in West Haven, the DOT reports.

This morning around 6 a.m. a tractor trailer jackknifed on I95 south, near exit 45 (Long Wharf Drive) in New Haven. There were reports that the tractor trailer was carrying more than 100 gallons of diesel fuel and that the fuel tanks could be breached. 

There are no reports at this time if any other vehicles were invloved or if anyone was injured.

The view from the Connecticut Department of Transportation traffic cameras indicate that the three left lanes are now open, for travel. The truck appears to have gone off the road onto the shoulder, blocking the right lane.
