NORWICH, Conn (WLNE) – Two people were killed and another seriously injured in a three-vehicle crash on Intersection 395 on Saturday. 

Police said the crash happened around 6:30 pm when a Buick driven by John D. Adams, an 85-year-old from Uncasville Connecticut, veered into the right shoulder of the southbound lanes on I-395. His wife, 79-year old Joan Adams, also from Uncasville, was in the passenger seat.

The Buick then entered the median and struck the metal guard rail. It then continued through the median and entered the north bound travel lanes.

It then struck a Toyota Corolla driven by 23-year-old Amber Castle, from Norwich. 

This resulted in the Adam’s Buick rolling on to its side when it was then struck by a Toyota Sienna driven by a family of three. 

Nobody in the Sienna was hurt. 

Castle sustained serious injuries and was transported to Backus Hospital and then transferred to Hartford Hospital.

Both John and Joan Adams succumbed to injuries sustained in the accident. 

The accident is still under investigation.
