While the two cars were traveling they slowed down for congested traffic, and the second car was struck in the rear by a third car, according to police. That pushed the second car into, and under, the first vehicle.

The driver of the third vehicle was transported by American Medical Response to UConn Hospital with minor injuries reported, police said.
