State trooper injured in crash

ROCKY HILL — A Connecticut state trooper investigating a highway accident was injured when another car crashed into his cruiser Tuesday night, state police said.

Trooper Alvin Chen, 33, was sitting in his cruiser parked in the left lane of Interstate 91 southbound in Rocky

Hill when it was rear-ended at about 8:30 p.m. by a car driven by Julio Delgado, 21, of Hartford, state police said. At the time, the cruiser’s emergency lights were on and flares were activated to warn other drivers about the first accident, police said.

Both Chen and Delgado were taken to Hartford Hospital. Chen had injuries to his head, neck and right knee, while Delgado injured his neck.

Delgado was issued an infraction ticket charging him with unsafe lane change and failure to move over for a stopped emergency vehicle.

Contact information for Delgado could not be found. It wasn’t clear if he has a lawyer who could respond to the allegations.
