A crash was reported near Broad and Ledyard streets in New London on Friday morning, October 16. A photograph by Rick Bates, supplied to Eastern CT News with permission to publish, shows police at the scene alongside a tractor-trailer.
The photograph shows a white McLane tractor-trailer angled across the roadway, a dark SUV beside it and a police SUV with an emergency light illuminated. An officer is standing near the vehicles. The Ledyard Street sign and nearby Broad Street businesses identify the location.
The person who supplied the image confirmed it was taken Friday morning; the exact time has not been established. The photograph documents the scene but does not establish how a collision happened, which vehicles were involved or who was at fault.
Eastern CT News has not obtained a matching police incident account or verified information about injuries, citations or towing. A check of New London Police’s Facebook page and accessible news and traffic sources did not establish those details. The still image also does not confirm whether traffic restrictions remain in place.
