The Hartford County crash, between a motorcycle and an SUV, took place in Glastonbury around 7 p.m., on Sunday, Sept. 25 on Hebron Avenue.

According to Capt. Mark Catania, of the Glastonbury Police, the department responded to the area near the Exit 2 on-ramp after another driver reported the crash.

When officers arrived they found a serious crash between a motorcycle and an SUV with numerous injuries, police said.

The motorcyclist, identified as Gordon "Mac" Southby, age 18, of Glastonbury, a senior at Glastonbury High School, and a 15-year-old rear seat passenger in the SUV were transported to an area hospital for treatment, police said.

Southby died shortly after arriving at the hospital. The 15-year-old died later Sunday night, Catania said.

Police said all other occupants of the SUV were hospitalized for observation.

Identification of the 15-year-old passenger has not been released to allow the family time to provide notification, Catania said.

The crash is under investigation.
