TL;DR Summary

A fuel tanker truck rolled over on the Gold Star Bridge in Groton, Connecticut, after a passenger car's tire blew out, causing the truck to spill about 2,200 gallons of fuel and creating a massive fire. The driver of the truck died at the scene, and two people were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. Some of the fuel spilled into the Thames River, and teams are working to contain the spill. Both sides of Interstate 95 were closed, and the southbound side will remain closed for "quite some time."
