A 32-year-old man suffered serious injuries in a crash near Route 6 in Farmington on Friday afternoon, prompting a lengthy road closure as crews worked the scene. Police said the crash happened around 4:14 p.m., and the man was taken to a hospital for treatment.
According to WFSB, Route 6 was closed between Waterside Drive and Reservoir Road following the crash, and the closure was expected to last several hours. The outlet reported that police had not released additional details about what led up to the collision as of their report.
Reconstruction Squad Called In
Given the severity of the man's injuries, the North Central Regional Accident Reconstruction Squad has been brought in to investigate the crash, the station's report noted. Specialized reconstruction teams like this one are typically deployed to serious-injury crashes, where documenting road conditions, vehicle damage and witness accounts can take considerably longer than a routine collision.
Police have asked anyone who witnessed the crash to contact Officer Murphy at 860-675-2400. No further updates on the man's condition or the circumstances of the crash were available at the time of the report.
Route 6 Has Seen Trouble Before
Friday's crash adds to a string of serious incidents along the same stretch of roadway in recent years. In September 2025, a pedestrian suffered serious injuries after being struck by a car on Route 6 in Farmington on a Friday night, according to NBC Connecticut. In a separate incident near Farmington Chase Crescent, officers responded to a two-car crash around 3 a.m. that left two people injured, including a 48-year-old man who was trapped in his vehicle and extricated by firefighters before being flown to Hartford Hospital by LifeStar, the outlet reported.
A fatal Farmington crash involving a pickup truck, a motorcycle and a school bus also remained under investigation as of a May 2026 report, with police at the time asking anyone with information to contact the Farmington Police Department. Those incidents are separate from Friday's crash, and it is not known whether any common factors connect them.
For now, the cause of Friday's crash and the extent of the 32-year-old man's injuries remain unconfirmed as the investigation continues.
