Hartford County resident Joseph Johnson of Manchester, was killed around 2:15 a.m., Friday, Feb. 24 on Route 5/15 northbound, south of exit 86 in Hartford.

According to state police, after Johnson lost control of the Chevrolet Impala he was driving, the car veered left and collided with the concrete barrier in the center median.
