Police: Wrong-Way Crash Kills 4 on I-95 in Connecticut

GUILFORD, Conn. (AP) — A wrong-way crash on Interstate 95 in Connecticut killed 4 individuals in two vehicles early Sunday morning, state police stated.

The accident occurred shortly earlier than 3 a.m. in Guilford, about 12 miles east of New Haven.

In keeping with state police, a 2009 Nissan Altima was driving north within the southbound lanes when it hit a 2012 Chevrolet Colorado. Police stated an investigation is ongoing.

The crash killed the motive force of the Nissan, 22-year-old Luis Fernando Garduno-Cidals of Westbrook.

Three individuals within the Chevrolet had been killed: driver Johnny Bookhardt, 76; Caroline Bookhardt, 68; and Patricia Greene-Kessler, 66. All had been residents of Norwalk.

All 4 had been utilizing seatbelts on the time of the crash, based on state police. The crash closed the freeway for a number of hours.

This story has been corrected to indicate state police erroneously reported which driver was going the fallacious means. It was Garduno-Cidals’ car, not Bookhardt’s, that was heading north within the southbound lanes.
