Police have arrested a man on manslaughter charges after a crash on Interstate 84 in Manchester last year.
A 25-year-old East Hartford woman was killed in the crash, which happened in February 2024.
State police said the driver of a 2016 Nissan Juke was in the high-occupancy vehicle lane of I-84 West near the exit 61 on-ramp, veered into the center lane and hit a 2015 Hyundai Genesis, sending the Hyundai into the grass.
The Nissan also went into the grassy area, through a wooded area, then into the right shoulder and across all travel lanes until hitting a concrete barrier, according to state police.
