TOLLAND — Three people were taken to area hospitals with injuries described as non-life-threatening after Tuesday afternoon’s Interstate 84 eastbound crash between exits 67 and 68, according to an October 28 Patch report citing state police. The report adds a patient count to earlier accounts of the October 27 crash, which police said occurred at 1:19 p.m.

CTDOT’s public advisory initially described a three-vehicle crash, reported at 1:28 p.m., about one mile before Exit 68, the Route 195 exit. The two times describe different source accounts; the CTDOT entry does not identify the vehicles.

At 3 p.m. October 27, CTDOT changed its advisory for the stretch between exits 67 and 68 from a full highway closure to “expect lane closures.” That was the latest restriction Eastern CT News could verify in a populated official entry. A later check returned an empty traffic table and no advisory; those results do not establish when all lanes reopened or whether the scene was cleared.

WINY Radio’s earlier Tolland Fire Department account said the highway was down to one lane. That feed item bears a 1:51 p.m. publication time and is not a current lane count.

Patch’s October 28 account said multiple vehicles were towed and a state Department of Transportation crew assisted with debris cleanup. The article said the crash remained under investigation. It did not give a full-clearance time or establish current lane restrictions. Earlier WFSB reporting described a tractor-trailer and a utility truck; the reviewed accounts do not establish a crash cause.

Eastern CT News substantively updated this AI-prepared article October 28 with Chris Dehnel’s attributed Patch report. Earlier reporting used WFSB, CTDOT advisories and WINY’s fire-department account. Eastern CT News did not attend the scene or independently obtain a police crash report. Original publication and prior alert delivery history are preserved.
