"The seven people who were fatally injured Wednesday in a fiery crash of a tractor-trailer and four cars at the Stratford tollbooth on the Connecticut Turnpike were all women and children, the state police said today.Positive identification was delayed until dental and medical records could be checked at the State Medical Examiner's office in Farmington.
According to the police, the six people killed instantly in the crash were Tammy Bartron, 18 years old, and her brother, Joseph Piscitelli, 6, both of Milford; Maria Kaliska, 55, of Milford; Edith Martin, 29, and her son, Patrick, 8 months, of Stratford, and Fiona L. Johnson, 29, of Bridgeport.
A seventh victim, Brian Thall, 5, of Milford, a passenger in the Bartron car, died Wednesday night at Bridgeport Hospital. Adam Berluti, a state police spokesman, said the investigation into the accident was continuing. He said the driver of the truck, Charles L. Kluttz, 35, of Cooleemee, N.C., was too weak to be interviewed after surgery Wednesday. Two other people - Warren Lutzel of Rhode Island and Mark Piscitelli, 3, brother of Joseph - were treated for minor injuries and released from the hospital Wednesday.
