MANCHESTER – Police are investigating a crash that caused the death of a Manchester woman during the early hours of March 5. The single vehicle crash occurred near Central Dr. and Manor Ct. in the Pine Acres Manor section of town, at approximately 2 a.m.
Judith M. Oliveri, 67, was found unresponsive by officers and later pronounced dead at the scene.
Oliveri was traveling west on Central Dr. in a silver 2014 Chevrolet Spark when she veered off the left side of the roadway near the Manor Ct. intersection. The Chevrolet collided with a tree and a road sign before colliding head-on into a 2002 Dodge Ram pick-up that was parked in the street.
