Hartford County residents Bianka Romero, age 21, of Windsor, and Marc Plaza, age 22, of East Hartford, were found dead in East Hartford shortly after 9 p.m. Monday, May 24.

Emergency units from the East Hartford Police and Fire departments responded and located the two unresponsive adults in the roadway, in the area of Roberts Street between Forbes Street and Olde Roberts Street,  said Lieutenant Joshua Litwin of the East Hartford Police Department.

They were transported by ambulance to a local hospital where they were pronounced dead. 

A preliminary investigation indicates that while traveling westbound, the two stopped their vehicle within the left westbound travel lane. 

 After exiting their vehicle, they were struck by two other vehicles traveling eastbound in the eastbound travel lanes, Litwin said. 

Operators of the other vehicles remained at the scene and are cooperating with investigators. 

"Specific circumstances remain under investigation; at this time it appears this was a tragic accident," Litwin added. "Our thoughts and prayers are extended to all involved and impacted by this tragic event."
