This fatal crash was the second one reported Saturday morning.
Minutes before the Hartford crash, around 2:30 a.m. on Interstate 91 northbound, officials responded to the area of exit 18 in Meriden after reports of a wrong-way driver.
Police said a 2020 Toyota Camry XLE was driving southbound in the northbound lane. State police say the Toyota crashed in a head-on collision into a 2012 BMW X5 between exit 17 and 18. A tractor-trailer also made contact with the BMW but did not contribute to the crash.
State police said both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene by EMS.
Police identified the drivers as Charde Spates, 21, of New Haven in the Toyota and Judith Melvin-Levy, 50, of Windsor in the BMW.
