Cos Cob Driver Seriously Injured In East Hartford Crash: State PD

EAST HARTFORD, CT — A Cos Cob woman suffered serious injuries Monday afternoon in a four-vehicle, chain reaction crash on Route 5/15 southbound in East Hartford, said Connecticut State Police.

Kathryn K. Guimard, 67, was driving her 2017 Toyota Camry at about 2:15 p.m. near exit 90 when her car was rear-ended by a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck driven by Glastonbury resident Thomas Napolitano, 33, according to state police.

The extent of Guimard's injuries, and her current medical condition, were not disclosed. Napolitano also may have suffered an injury, said state police.

"The impact from [Napolitano's vehicle] pushed [Guimard's vehicle] forward, striking the rear end of Veh #2 being operated by Ambrocio Baeznunez," wrote state police in a release.

Baeznunez, 45, of Wappingers Falls, NY, was driving a 2006 Honda Odyssey, and that vehicle then sideswiped the rear passenger side of a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox driven by Benjamin Herbert, 52, of Huntington, NY.

Baeznunez and his four passengers all may have suffered injuries, according to state police, but Herbert and his two passengers were not injured.

The crash remains under investigation.
