Hartford CT Pair Carolyn Everett Richard Wells Named As Victims In Fatal Sunday Tolland Crash

TOLLAND, CT. (THECOUNT) — Connecticut State police have identified two people killed in a Sunday morning crash on Interstate 84 in Tolland.

Richard Wells, 65, and 52-year-old Carolyn Everett, (pictured,) both of Hartford, have been named as the victims in a crash that occurred on I-84 westbound between Exits 67 and 68 around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Driver Wells and passenger Everett were pronounced dead on the scene, according to troopers.

According to state police, two cars and one tractor-trailer were involved in the crash. Investigators said Wells somehow lost control of the vehicle, hit a guardrail on the right shoulder and the vehicle bounced back into the right lane. At that point, it was hit by a tractor trailer, which sent the victims’ car into another car on the highway. source

The investigation into what led up to the crash continues.
