A woman was killed and four people were injured in a crash on Route 4 Burlington, near the Farmington line, on Thursday afternoon.
State police said Eileen Shannon, 57, of Torrington, was driving a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee eastbound on Route 4 just before 1:30 p.m. when she crossed over into the westbound side of the street and collided with a commercial vehicle that was carrying some kind of refuse.
Shannon was pronounced dead at the scene and three passengers in her vehicle, Jessica Vandebogart, 37, of Winsted, Pamela Brown, 37, also of Winsted, and Jaxon Doyle, 4, of Winsted, were taken to local hospitals.
