SOUTHEAST \u2013 A fatal truck crash on Interstate 84 at the New York-Connecticut state line snarled westbound traffic along the superhighway for hours Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The mishap occurred when, according to Connecticut State Police, an 18-wheeler operated by 42-year-old Jason Valarezo of Manchester, New Hampshire, rear-ended another tractor-trailer that was parked on the shoulder near an off-ramp just east of the Putnam County border.<\/p>\n
Emergency crews from New York and Connecticut responded and found Valarezo with injuries described as fatal.<\/p>\n
Traffic backed up for miles while crews reconstructed the crash.<\/p>\n
Local roads throughout greater Brewster and Southeast also resembled parking lots due to vehicles exiting the interstate in Danbury and accessing local roads to Route 684.<\/p>\n
