A 3 p.m. accident Wednesday close by Exit 14 on the southbound-traffic side of Interstate 95 sent a bus driver and 18 injured passengers to Norwalk and Stamford hospital, according to a report in the Hour of Norwalk. The accident involved a large truck and a bus killed the bus driver, a 32-year-old New Jersey man. On Tuesday, Selma Spector, 85, of Darien died after a multi-car accident on U.S. Route 7. “Two serious accidents in as many days on our highways in Norwalk is too much,” state Sen.
