Speed may have played a role in a head-on crash in Madison that killed a local woman, police said Thursday.
The crash happened on Route 79, or Durham Road, about 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, Capt. Joseph A. Race said. Tracy DeCosta, 56, died at the scene.
The two people in the other car, an Audi, were injured and taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for treatment, Race said. He did not know how they were doing Thursday morning, although he said their injuries weren’t as serious as originally thought.
The Audi and DeCosta’s small Honda SUV collided head-on near Goat Hill Road, also known as Goat Lot Road.
