On Sunday, April 7, 2025, at approximately 5:22 AM, Emergency Dispatchers from Troop H - Hartford were notified by the wrong-way detection system of a wrong way driver on the I-84 Westbound Exit 42 off-ramp. Upon receiving the notification, Dispatchers observed a vehicle backing up the off ramp and the operator exiting the vehicle. It was observed on camera that the male operator then walked to a crash scene and began picking up items that were scattered on the highway from a rolled over tractor trailer unit.
