Glastonbury, CT (September 24, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash caused lane closures and minor injuries on Route 2 westbound Tuesday morning, according to Connecticut State Police and the Department of Transportation. The crash occurred just before 7:00 AM between exits 6 and 4.
Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene and arrived shortly thereafter, with traffic restricted to one lane as crews assessed the situation and worked to remove the vehicles. The left lane remained closed for approximately three hours before reopening to motorists.
State police confirmed that minor injuries were reported in the collision. Wreckers were requested to assist with clearing the damaged vehicles from the roadway. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
This stretch of Route 2 is known for early morning congestion, particularly during weekday commuting hours, which can increase the risk of rear-end and merging collisions.
We hope for a quick recovery for all those involved.
Morning Commute Crashes and Highway Safety in Connecticut
Crashes on high-traffic routes like Route 2 during peak commute times often lead to delays and secondary risks for other drivers. In Connecticut, state transportation officials frequently remind motorists to reduce speed and maintain following distance, especially in transitional highway zones near exits and merges.
Minor injury crashes can still result in physical discomfort, property damage, and long-term consequences for those involved. Early morning light conditions and fast-changing traffic flow are common contributing factors.
For crash victims, documenting the incident, seeking timely medical care, and managing insurance claims are essential steps in the recovery process.
