Funeral Held for Connecticut State Trooper Killed in Off-Duty Crash

A Connecticut state trooper killed in a traffic collision was laid to rest this weekend.

A memorial service for Trooper Danielle Miller was held Saturday in Southington. Her family says burial will be at their convenience.

Miller was off-duty when her cruiser and a pickup truck collided head-on on Route 69 in Wolcott on Feb. 3. She later died from her injuries.

The 27-year-old Wolcott resident was a 2014 graduate of the state police academy and was assigned to the Litchfield barracks.

The pickup driver in the crash was treated for minor injuries at a hospital and released.

Authorities say the crash is still under investigation and no charges have been filed.

The funeral was attended by members of agencies from across the state and even as far as Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.
