A 19-year-old New Hartford woman sustained life-threatening injuries after her vehicle crossed the double yellow line and smashed into an oncoming car on Mansfield Avenue Monday morning.
The accident happened around 7 a.m. just north of Middlesex Road. A Honda Accord traveling southbound crossed the double yellow line and struck a northbound Chevy Trailblazer head-on, police said. It appears the Accord was speeding.
The 19-year-old driver sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital. The Trailblazer operator, a 59-year-old New Canaan woman was transported to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
