FARMINGTON, Conn. — A Connecticut man has been charged in connection with a head-on crash last year that left two people from Canada dead.

Farmington police on Monday announced that 54-year-old Edward Brozynski, of Newington, faces two counts of second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle and other charges in connection with the crash Sept. 14 on Route 6 in Farmington.

Benoit Boislard and Rejean St. Pierre, both 66 from Quebec, Canada, rear seat passengers in the other vehicle, died. A front seat passenger was seriously injured while Brozysnki and the other driver were injured.

Police say Brozynski was headed west when his car crossed into the eastbound lane and collided with the other car.

Brozynski was held pending a court appearance Tuesday. It could not immediately be determined if he has a lawyer.
