FARMINGTON, Conn. (AP) — State police say a 24-year-old woman has died in an early morning crash in Farmington.

Police say Sherryann Jamila Haylett, of Bloomfield, was heading east on Interstate 84 at about 1:30 a.m. Monday when her car went off the highway, struck a guard rail and came to rest against some trees after going down a small embankment.
