Connecticut State Police told Patch that a vehicle driven by Edward Bertulis, 87, was struck in the back by the Lexus Kathy was driving while both were traveling eastbound on Sherman Hill Road in Woodbury.
Kathy’s car veered off the road down an embankment and overturned in a small body of water, while Bertulis’ vehicle crashed into utility pole and landed upside down in the center of the road.

Eleven-year NBA veteran Jason Collins made history by coming out in a Sports Illustrated editorial that will appear in the sports magazine's May 6, 2013 issue, but hit the digital version on April 29. He became the first American male athlete in a major professional sport to come out as gay.
Ellen DeGeneres had a special message for Collins during her show. The comedian made light of the inspirational news, saying that it was more challenging for Collins to come out of the closet because he's seven feet tall.
"So when he came out of the closet, he had to duck," DeGeneres joked.
She then followed the joke by applauding the Washington Wizards player and commended him for his bravery: "You're an incredible role model. Because of you, there's a little boy playing basketball right now who knows that he can be who he is and play the sport that he loves."
