A fuel delivery truck rollover on the Gold Star Bridge caused a catastrophic fire and shut down both lanes of the Interstate 95 in Groton for hours on Friday. Although the northbound lanes have reopened, the southbound side remained closed as officials investigate how the crash and subsequent fire started. Sadly, the driver of the truck died in the accident with injuries unknown in other drivers. The mayor of New London confirmed that the southern span of the bridge was closed for a structural inspection; there are reports of buildings below the bridge on fire too. The Long Island Cross Sound Ferry is still operating, but many drivers are stuck in traffic to make the boat departure times. The fire melted some of the guardrails, and engineers had to evaluate the southbound side of the bridge. The incident delayed trains but did not affect the Naval Submarine Base in New London as their firefighters rushed to help.
