The collision occurred in New London County on Tuesday, July 31, 2023, in Norwich.

According to Connecticut State Police, Kristi Vincent of Lisbon turned herself in to police exactly a year after the crash on Wednesday, July 31.

An arrest affidavit says Vincent was driving a 2017 Nissan Rogue on I-395 South with two children when the crash occurred.

Vincent told police she did not see the construction zone as she was handing her child a bottle when she rear-ended a 2003 Nissan Sentra XE, which hit a 2015 Nissan Sentra S, the arrest report said.

The driver of the 2003 Nissan suffered a traumatic brain injury and died days later. The passenger died on the day of the crash, the warrant said.

Vincent was charged with:

  • Endangering highway worker
  • Reckless driving
  • Following too closely resulting in an accident- construction zone
  • Failure to slow down/move over for emergency vehicle
  • Distracted driving in construction zone
  • Manslaughter
  • Assault 

Vincent was released from custody on a $50,000 court-set bond and is scheduled to appear at Norwich Superior Court on Thursday, Aug. 8.
