14-Month-Old Dies After Crash on Route 20 in Granby

The 14-month-old old boy critically injured in a crash on Route 20 in Granby last week has died, according to police.

Police said Thursday that the child, Landon Ayers, has died at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. He was in critical condition following a crash the morning of Oct. 9.

According to police, Landon's father, 24-year-old Kevin Ayers, of East Granby, was driving a 2008 Pontiac sedan eastbound on Route 20 and Daniel Genie, 26, of Springfield, Massachusetts, was driving a 2000 Ford armored truck heading westbound when the vehicles collided.

Ayers had to be extricated from the car and a LifeStar helicopter airlifted him to Hartford Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition after surgery. Police said Thursday that Ayers remains hospitalized.

Landon was in a car seat in the back of the car. He was rushed to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in critical condition and died Thursday.

Ambulances took Genie and a passenger in the armored car, a Christopher Rosado, 23, to Hartford Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Police said Thursday they have been treated and released.

Police are investigating and said no charges have been filed.
