A Connecticut Department of Transportation worker, Elvin Hernandez, was fatally struck by a motor vehicle while performing road maintenance on I-95 in Fairfield. The incident has led to a manslaughter charge against the driver, who was reportedly under the influence of heroin at the time of the collision. Officials have expressed their deep sorrow over this senseless loss and have urged drivers to pay more attention to road workers. The accident triggered a multi-vehicle crash that temporarily shut down a section of the interstate, further complicating the aftermath of the tragedy.
