Fatal Fuel Tanker Crash on Connecticut's Gold Star Bridge.

A fuel tanker rollover on the Gold Star Bridge in Groton, Connecticut, caused a massive fire and closed Interstate 95 South for hours. The truck driver died in the crash, and there were multiple injuries reported. A tire blowout on a passenger vehicle caused it to come into contact with the fuel tanker, which rolled over and burst into flames, spilling about 2,200 gallons of fuel. The burning fuel spilled down through the bridge and into the Thames River below. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection set up containment booms in the river to keep the fuel from spreading.
