Pomfret, CT (September 1, 2025) – A serious collision involving a car and multiple motorcycles occurred Saturday afternoon at the intersection of Killingly Road and Wrights Crossing Road in Pomfret, resulting in multiple injuries and a major emergency response, including air medical support.
The crash was reported around 4:18 p.m., prompting first responders to dispatch several ambulances and request two medical helicopters. Initial reports indicated that multiple motorcyclists had been injured following a crash with a passenger vehicle. At least three ambulances were requested to the scene to care for the injured parties.
One helicopter was initially canceled as one victim was transported by ground ambulance, but due to the severity of injuries sustained by others, a second helicopter was later re-requested to Day Kimball Hospital.
Emergency crews stabilized victims on site before transporting them for advanced care. The intersection was shut down for an extended period as responders assisted the injured, coordinated air support logistics, and investigated the crash. Damage to both the vehicle and multiple motorcycles was reported, though the specific cause of the crash remains under investigation.
We extend our deepest concerns and hopes for full recoveries to all those injured in this devastating incident.
Motorcycle Crashes in Connecticut
Motorcycle collisions involving passenger vehicles frequently result in catastrophic injuries, particularly when more than one rider is involved. The crash in Pomfret illustrates the heightened risks motorcyclists face, especially on rural roadways where higher speeds and limited sightlines increase the chances of severe impact.
Killingly Road (Route 101) is a well-traveled corridor in northeastern Connecticut, connecting small communities across wooded, open terrain. The intersection with Wrights Crossing Road has limited traffic controls and can be challenging to navigate, especially during high-traffic hours or group rides.
Motorcyclists lack the protective shell of a vehicle, making even minor collisions potentially life-threatening. In this case, the need for multiple medical helicopters underscores how grave the injuries were. Connecticut has seen rising numbers of motorcycle-involved crashes in recent years, especially during warmer months when rider activity increases across scenic backroads.
In the aftermath of motorcycle collisions, injured riders often face extended medical care, rehabilitation, and substantial financial burdens. Legal complexities can also arise—particularly when multiple parties and serious injuries are involved. That’s why access to qualified support, including trauma care, insurance guidance, and legal resources, is essential.
