WINDSOR, Vt. (AP) — Vermont State Police say there’s been a series of five vehicle crashes on an icy Interstate 91 in Windsor.

Police said the accidents happened early Wednesday on the northbound side. The interstate has re-opened; it was closed for several hours between exits 8 and 9.

Police said the first driver lost control of his vehicle and struck a guardrail. The second driver spun out and struck a guardrail while approaching the scene. A tractor trailer lost control and struck the second vehicle, which was pushed into a fire department truck. A firefighter was injured while escaping from the crash.

A fourth vehicle was passing by when it was struck from behind by a fifth vehicle.
