One person died and three others were injured in an accident on the Gold Star Bridge

A woman was killed and three others injured when a Brink’s truck collided with a broken-down SUV on the Gold Star Bridge on Interstate 95 South in Groton Friday evening.

According to Connecticut State Police, a Ford Edge was traveling south on I-95, just south of the Gold Star Bridge Exit 83 ramp, around 6:42 p.m. Friday when it experienced a “mechanical failure.”

As the Ford came to a stop in the southbound lane, a Brink’s Freightliner armored truck drove into the rear of the SUV, state police said.

The Ford driver, a 52-year-old man, and the passenger, a 54-year-old woman, were taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London for suspected minor injuries, according to state police. The backseat passenger, identified as 76-year-old Evelyn Diment, was seriously injured and taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, state police said. All three lived in Winamac, Indiana.

The driver of Brink’s truck, a 37-year-old woman from New London, was also taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, according to state police.

The accident is still under investigation, state police said.

Anyone who witnessed the accident or has dashboard camera video is asked to contact Trooper Christopher Brett at 860-848-6540.
