Woman Sentenced In Fatal Southington Crash That Killed 2

Written by Justin Muszynski, The Bristol Press

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A New Britain woman was sentenced to two years in prison this week after pleading guilty to charges tied to a Southington car accident that killed two young men.

Gabriella Correa, 23, of Gladden St., New Britain, began serving her sentence on Monday following a hearing in New Britain Superior Court. She was taken into custody immediately following the sentencing – which took place in New Britain Superior Court.

Correa previously pleaded guilty to one count of operating under the influence and two counts of misconduct with a motor vehicle – the latter of which are felony offenses.

The charges stem from a car crash reported on March 14, 2020, in which Kii Glover, 21, and Kaivon Glover, 22, were both killed.

According to police, Correa, driving a Honda CR-V northeast on Andrews Street toward New Britain, appeared to lose control around a curve around 8:44 p.m. She then crossed the center lines and struck several large rocks and a guardrail on the side of the road. The crash happened along the reservoir in between Long Bottom and Caretaker roads.

Police said there were four people in the vehicle.

Kii Glover and Kaivon Glover, who were backseat passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Correa and the front seat passenger, Mollina Colon – who was 22 at the time – suffered injuries that police said were not life-threatening.

Following the accident, Correa was charged with two counts of manslaughter with a motor vehicle and one count each of reckless driving, reckless endangerment, traveling too fast, failure to drive in proper lane, driving under the influence and possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana. Many of those charges were dropped in light of the guilty pleas.
