OLD SAYBROOK - A tractor trailer attempting to negotiate a sharp ramp failed to do so resulting in an accident tying up a major highway ramp for hours.
According to Connecticut State Police Troop F, William R. Whitney, Jr., 46, of Ashvelot, N.H., drove the tractor trailer on the ramp connecting Route 9 southbound with Interstate 95 northbound on Dec. 28 at about 11:30 a.m. when the vehicle rolled onto its right side and collided into a metal beam guard rail.
The vehicle's airbag deployed upon impact.
Ashvelot was cited by police for traveling too fast, a violation of Connecticut State Statue 14-218a.
Large signs on Route 9 Southbound warn drivers that the speed limit of the section of highway immediately after the Exit 2 Northbound on-ramp reduces to 35 miles per hour with even lower speed limits posted on the ramps themselves.
Ashvelot was taken by Old Saybrook ambulance to the Shoreline Medical Center for head laceration injuries.
His vehicle, which experienced damage to both the left and right sides, was towed by Eric's Towing Service.
The ramp was closed for two and a half hours and was reopened at 3 p.m. with crews from the Connecticut Department of Transportation continuing work on the ramp's guardrails.
