Mansfield, CT (May 24, 2019) – Just before 8:45 p.m. on May 23, Police and emergency crews responded to the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Route 195.

According to reports, 21-year-old Thomas Paul Leahy was traveling south along Route 195 in a 2007 Toyota RAV4 when his vehicle crossed over the double center lines in the roadway. As the RAV4 crossed over, it struck a 2008 Windham Regional Transit bus head-on.

The impact of the collision caused Leahy to sustain fatal injuries. Leahy was pronounced deceased at the scene of the collision.

The driver of the bus, 36-year-old Jerome Garvil Carson, sustained injuries and was transported to Windham Hospital for medical treatment.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Carson at this time.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Thomas Paul Leahy.
