Transportation Briefs: Highway Crash and Highway Hero, Pump Priming for a Ferry and a Rail Line
|
Kudos to the Connecticut Department of Transportation for their amazing work last week cleaning up after the fiery truck crash in Norwalk closed Interstate 95. It’s amazing what CDOT crews can do operating on a deadline and with $20 million in federal money. Hero Trucker
Kudos also to Hazeth Aracena, the truck driver turned hero who was involved in that crash. When the Camaro that seems to have caused the crash (as was reportedly confirmed by the tanker truck’s dash-cam) swerved toward Aracena’s tractor trailer, he tried to move out of the way, only to strike the tanker truck. But Aracena jumped from his cab and rescued the Camaro driver, pulling him from his car.
