Interstate 95 North in Waterford was closed for around an hour on Thursday night after a driver went off the road and hit a guardrail.
The crash happened just after 11 p.m. between exits 81 and 82 and police had to extricate a 56-year-old New London man from the car, according to a news release from police.
The car was heavily damaged, but the man was conscious and alert and sustained minor injuries.
He was cited for a failure to maintain a lane violation.
