4 people seriously injured, taken to hospital, after a car, exiting I-95 south at a high rate of speed in Fairfield, crashes into a gas station and several other vehicles.

Four people were taken to the hospital after a car exiting Interstate 95 south in Fairfield lost control and struck a gas station and several other cars at the bottom of the ramp, emergency officials said.

Police said the car was taking the exit 24 ramp too quickly and went airborne, slamming into a column at the Cumberland Farms at 975 Kings Highway East and catching fire.

"This is a really horrific scene," said Fairfield police spokesman Lt. James Perez. "The damage is tremendous."

Fire officials said three other vehicles were damaged, as was the Cumberland Farms building.

Emergency responders had to extricate the driver responsible for the crash, a woman, later identified as Rosa Medina, 30. She was the only person in that vehicle. A good Samaritan extinguished the fire with an extinguisher from the gas station, police said.

None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.

Exit 24 off I-95 south was blocked off after the crash and traffic was down to one lane on Kings Highway East.
