A serious crash has closed Route 80 at the Guilford/North Branford town line on Saturday.

Guilford police said Route 80 is closed between Long Hill Road and the North Branford town line. Anyone in the area is asked to use Route 1 or County Road as a detour.

The area is expected to be closed for an extended period of time.

Police said the crash is serious, but it’s unclear exactly how many people may be injured.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Marina Mabrey made five 3-pointers and finished with 24 points off the bench, Alyssa Thomas hit two free throws with 4.1 seconds to play and the Connecticut Sun beat the Chicago Sky 82-80 on Friday night.

Thomas, who finished with 12 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds and four steals, was fouled with the game tied 80-80 and sank both free throws to give the Sun the victory. DeWanna Bonner had the chance to give the Sun the lead with 35 seconds to go but was only able to tie the score when she split a pair of free throws.

The Sun scored the game’s final five points, all from the free-throw line.

Connecticut (21-7) had a 45-35 halftime lead, but Chicago’s Angel Reese scored nine points and grabbed eight rebounds in the third as the Sky outscored the Sun 29-18 to take a one-point lead into the fourth.

That lead stretched to 74-68, but Mabrey, playing against her former team, answered with a 3-pointer and a layup to cut the deficit to a point, 76-75, with 4:38 to play.

Reese, who finished with 13 points and 20 rebounds and became the only rookie in WNBA history with 20-plus rebounds in back-to-back games, made two free throws to give Chicago (11-17) an 80-77 lead with 1:52 remaining.

Connecticut’s Tyasha Harris hit two foul shots with 1:01 left to pull the Sun within a point before DiJonai Carrington was called for a blocking foul. A challenge from Connecticut coach Stephanie White overturned the call and the Sky’s Chennedy Carter was charged with an offensive foul.

On the next possession, Bonner was fouled in the lane (Chicago coach Teresa Weatherspoon challenged, but the call was upheld) and made 1 of 2 free throws to tie it 80-80.

Chicago’s Lindsay Allen missed a mid-range jumper with 15 seconds remaining and Bonner grabbed the rebound before Thomas hit the winning free throws.

Mabrey, in her fourth game with Connecticut after being acquired from the Sky on July 17, led all scorers while connecting on 9 of 13 from the field and 5 of 7 from 3-point range. Bonner added 15 points while Thomas and Brionna Jones both finished with 12.

Bonner grabbed eight rebounds and became just the 10th player in WNBA history with at least 3,000 career rebounds (3,003). She is just 10 behind Taj McWilliams-Franklin (3,013) for ninth all-time.

Carter led Chicago with 19 points, Kamilla Cardoso added a career-high 18 and Lindsay Allen had 14.

Reese became the first rookie with multiple 20-rebound games since Tina Charles in 2010. She has 21 double-doubles.

Connecticut scored 27 points off 19 Sky turnovers.

Providing refuge during an uncertain time. A local church in Oxford was a place of shelter for people stranded during Sunday’s storm.

The pastor said providing a safe place is what they’re there for.

Sunday’s storm in Oxford was a treacherous time for drivers. That included Reverend Karen Jodice who was out at the time.

“It was a scary situation. Just wasn’t sure if I was able to get home or if I’d be safe, spending the night by the side of the road,” she said.

The heavy rain and flooding made roads impassable, causing people to seek refuge. Jodice said her phone rang with people asking if they could shelter in her church, the Oxford Congregational United Church of Christ, where she’s a pastor.

“It came out to be about 25 people plus our church members, so we opened up the church,” she said.

Jodice said the church’s location on top of a hill provided a sense of safety as Route 67 below began flooding.

“People were able to get to safety in the parking lot. We’re grateful for that,” she said.

Jodice said people huddled inside the church with members providing coffee and snacks as they waited. A few hours later, some people were able to make their way home.

“That’s what the church is for. To help people in times of need and there’s been a lot of that and a lot of people helping,” she said.

Jodice said her church is speaking with other community members on how to help with the town’s recovery.

“Either through financial resources or finding ways for people to donate actual physical goods or money,” she said.

The church is also offering up their parking lot to any nearby businesses who may need the space with lots just across the street damaged or swept away during the storm.
