Woman in wreck reached 135 mph

NORWALK, Conn. (AP) - Police say a Connecticut woman accused of causing a wreck on Interstate 95 in Norwalk was driving up to 135 mph and had been on a crack cocaine binge.

Thirty-one-year-old Rachel Wood of Bridgeport was charged with reckless driving, possession of drug paraphernalia and other crimes after Wednesday's crash. Details of the allegations were reported by the Connecticut Post

A tractor-trailer flipped on its side and caught fire in the chain-reaction accident. All three southbound lanes were closed for more than an hour and traffic backed up for miles.

The truck driver is hospitalized in stable condition.

Wood is detained on bail. She has other pending cases including charges of use of drug paraphernalia and larceny.

A court clerk says Wood doesn't have a lawyer in the accident case.
