Woman dies in Granby crash

Granby, Conn (WTNH) - A female driver has died after crashing her car into a tree in Granby Saturday afternoon.

Around 2:10pm, the woman was driving along Copper Hill Road near Peterson Road, when she lost control and drove her car into a tree. When police arrived on the scene, they requested assistance from the Lost Acres Fire Department to extricate the driver, who was trapped in the vehicle.

Firefighters removed the woman from her car, and she was taken by ambulance to Hartford Hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
