The crash took place around 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 7, in Windham County on Route 44, in Ashford, said the Connecticut State Police.
According to troopers, the crash occurred when a westbound Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Alexandra Barsky, age 35 of New Jersey, slowed down for a vehicle that was turning in front of her when the vehicle behind her, a 1993 Dodge 350 pickup, driven by John Brozek, age 32, of Coventry attempted to avoid hitting her.
