Multi-Vehicle Collision In West Hartford Temporarily Closes Road

WEST HARTFORD, CT — An armored truck rolled over onto its side on South Main Street as part of a 4-vehicle collision which closed the roadway for about two hours Friday afternoon.

The collision occurred around 3 p.m. in the area of 262 South Main St., when a northbound 2001 Toyota Camry collided with the rear of a parked unoccupied tractor trailer. After impact, the Toyota crossed into the southbound travel lanes and collided with an armored truck, police said.

In trying to avoid the collision, the operator of the armored vehicle made an evasive maneuver and began to roll when it collided with a northbound 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, police said.

Several people were transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. South Main St. was closed between Ledgewood Rd. and Crestwood Rd. for about two hours. All vehicles, except for the tractor trailer, had to be towed from the scene, police said.

The operator of the Toyota, Sarah Gorczynski, 24, of New Britain, was issued a misdemeanor summons for operating a vehicle with a suspended license, operating an unregistered motor vehicle and failure to drive right, according to police.
