Two people were taken to a hospital, including one who had to be extricated by firefighters, after a crash on Interstate 95 in Norwalk on Tuesday night involving a street sweeper and a construction vehicle.
The collision occurred on the southbound side of the highway just before the Route 7 interchange shortly after 10 p.m., according to Dep. Fire Chief Jonathan Maggio of the Norwalk Fire Department.
Maggio said the collision involved a privatized street sweeper and a construction vehicle with an attenuator system that had been deployed, as the left lane of the highway was closed.
