MERIDEN, CT — A Massachusetts man faces up to nine months in prison in connection to a fatal 2014 crash that killed a Meriden man and his two young children, according to multiple reports, including the Meriden Record-Journal. Darin Robinson, 26, and his 3-year-old son Dacari and 9-year-old daughter Sanaa all died from injuries sustained in the Oct. 12, 2014 crash on I-95 in Waterford. Robinson’s fiancée Baughnita Leary was seriously injured in the crash but survived.
