A 27-year-old Tolland man was traveling northbound on Old Kent Rd South when he lost control on an unpaved surface, skidded off the right shoulder, and collided with a tree. The man was uninjured, but the vehicle was towed from the scene by Tolland Citgo due to damage. No other vehicles or persons were involved in this accident. 

Several vehicles were traveling eastbound on I-84 and one was traveling in the center lane of the three, approximately 100 feet west of the exit 68 off-ramp, when one of the rear trailer tires blew off. Seven other vehicles subsequently struck the tire. All of the operators and their passengers explained that they were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the collision and that they were not injured. A 55-year-old Stroudsburg, PA man was issued an infraction for operating with unsafe tires.
