Waterford — One person died and another was seriously injured in a two-car accident on I-395 in Waterford late Friday evening, according to Connecticut State Police.
Lisa Delprete, 45, of New Haven, a passenger in a vehicle traveling south near exit 77, was pronounced dead of head trauma at L&M Hospital in New London.
The driver of the vehicle, 52-year-old Edmund Davis of New Haven, suffered head and chest injuries and, after initial treatment at L&M, was transferred to Yale-New Haven Hospital.
The car driven by Davis, traveling in the right lane, was struck from behind just before 11 p.m. by a vehicle driven by Dina Senibaldi, 26, of Everett, Mass. Davis’ car lost control, struck the wire rope guard rail on the shoulder, and toppled onto its side.
Senibaldi, who refused treatment, failed a field sobriety test at the scene, according to police, and was arrested for driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated.  …..MORE
