One driver was hospitalized after a three-car crash on Interstate 84 in West Hartford on Thursday morning.

A 34-year-old Southbury man driving a Honda Odyssey traveling on I-84 east just before Exit 41 around 7:15 a.m. A 23-year-old East Hartford man in a Hyundai Tuscan was behind the Honda followed by a Ford Fiesta, driven by a 20-year-old Winsted woman. As the Honda and Hyundai slowed down for traffic, the Hyundai was struck in the back by the Ford. The Hyundai was then projected into the rear of the Honda.

The driver of the Ford was transported to UConn Health with minor injuries, according to state police. She was found at fault for the collision and issued an infraction for following too closely, police said.

Police said no other injuries were reported.

The driver of the Honda was given a misdemeanor summons for operating a vehicle under suspension and is scheduled to appear in Hartford Superior Court on Sept. 26.
