VOLUNTOWN, Conn. — A head-on crash occurred Saturday morning in Voluntown, according to a release from Connecticut State Police.
A 2013 Nissan Rouge driven by a 45-year-old man from South Hadley, Mass. was traveling east on Route 138 with a 35-year-old female passenger from Chicopee, Mass, according to the crash report.
Meanwhile, a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited S being driven by a 72-year-old man from Hampton was driving west on the same road, the crash report said.
