Winchester Police are investigating after two vehicles crashed into the Winsted Senior Center on Saturday night.

Officers were called to Holabird Avenue near the Winsted Senior Center around 10:20 p.m. after getting a report of a crash with possible injuries. When officers arrived, they found two vehicles that had crashed into the front entrance of the Winsted Senior Center.

Police said two people were transported by LifeStar to Hartford Hospital to be treated for serious injuries. Another person was transported to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital to be treated for injuries. Officers believe none of the injuries are life-threatening.

Investigators believe speed played a role in the crash. Officers said they believe both vehicles were traveling east on Holabird Avenue when they collided with each other and then crashed into the front entrance of the senior center.

Both vehicles and the front entrance to the senior center were heavily damaged.

The investigation is ongoing.

Police in Branford, Connecticut are asking for the public's help locating a vehicle that was involved in a hit-and-run that left a bicyclist seriously injured on Sunday.

Police said a white Ford Super Duty pick-up truck driven by a man hit a bicyclist on Boston Post Road (Route 1) near the intersection of Featherbed Lane. The pickup truck then fled from the scene eastbound on Route 1.

The bicyclist was seriously injured and was transported to the hospital, according to police.

Officers are asking for help locating the vehicle and the operator. Police said the pickup truck has damage to the passenger side headlight assembly area.

If you witnessed the accident or have information that could assist in the investigation, you're urged to call Detective Art Ferris at (203) 481-4241.

All lanes of Interstate 91 North in Hartford have reopened following a multi-vehicle crash on Sunday afternoon.

According to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, a tractor trailer and multiple vehicles were involved in the crash between exits 28 and 29. The right and center lanes were closed, but have since reopened.

There is no word if anyone was injured.

More than 1,000 runners and walkers jumped at the chance to join Jamie’s Run in Wethersfield on Sunday morning.

“I actually run it for a little boy named Luke Dunn. He died three years ago. I run every year in memory of him,” said Amy Camilleri, of Wethersfield.

Many had touching reasons for wanting to take part in a 5K, 3K Charity Walk or Kids K Fun Run.

And it all raises money for Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

“It’s super gratifying. It’s sort of amazing to us how far-reaching our mission has been or how far-reaching Jamie’s spirit has been for us,” said Kelly Knotts.

Kelly Knotts and her husband, Kurt, started the event in honor of their daughter, Jamie.

She was diagnosed with a rare type of liver tumor and passed away in January 2010 at the age of five and a half months.

“We’ve had such a great core of supporters that have been with us since our battle when Jamie was in the hospital. People really rallied around us. We wanted to keep that energy going,” said Kurt Knotts.

With the help of a team of volunteers, Jamie’s Run is now in its 9th year and benefits Pediatric Clinical Trials and Family Assistance programs.

So far, the group has donated more than $380,000 to CCMC.

“They tell us it makes a difference and they’re just so grateful for it, because it really does,” said Kelly Knotts.

First responders rescued two people after their canoe capsized in Manchester on Sunday afternoon.

Police and firefighters were called to Union Pond around 1:15 p.m. after getting a report of two people in the water after the canoe they were using capsized. 

Firefighters used a fire rescue boat and safely removed both people from the water.

The two people were transported to Hartford Hospital to be evaluated, police said. It is unclear if either person was injured.

Connecticut State Police have identified the pedestrian who was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Route 63 in Bethany on Sunday morning.

Troopers said they were called to Route 63, on the Bethany and Naugatuck town lines, after getting a report of a pedestrian that was hit by a car around 7:30 a.m.

According to police, the vehicle fled the scene after the crash. A possible description of the vehicle is a dark green 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee with front end damage, including a right broken or missing headlight.

Naugatuck Police said the pedestrian who was hit has died. Officials have identified the pedestrian as 25-year-old Tony Pires Goncalves, of Derby.

Officers shut down Route 63 from Clark Road to Edwards Road in Bethany and asked drivers to use alternate routes. The road was closed for several hours.

The crash is under investigation by Connecticut State Police.

Anyone with information that can help investigators identify the operator or the evading vehicle is asked to contact Troop I in Bethany at (203) 393-4200.

Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers lived up to the hype in the sense of it being a compelling game into the fourth quarter.

Costly mistakes were bound to catch up with the Green Bay Packers, however, and right on cue, 14 unanswered points in the game’s final period propelled the New England Patriots to a 31-17 victory on Sunday Night Football.

The Patriots improved to 7-2 on the season with the win and remain a game back of the Kansas City Chiefs for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff structure.

New England turned a Green Bay fumble at the Patriots' 34-yard line into points, as James White scored on the drive which followed Lawrence Guy’s forced fumble and Stephon Gilmore’s recovery of an Aaron Jones error.

White's run put New England ahead for good, 24-17, with 10:06 to go in the fourth quarter.

Rodgers was sacked by Trey Flowers and Adrian Clayborn on third down on the next possession for the Packers, forcing Green Bay to punt.

"The way he plays quarterback, how he's able to extend [plays] with his legs and continue to look downfield," Flowers said of Rodgers' ability to keep broken plays alive. "Being able to rush him aggressively but also contain him, we were definitely conscious of it. I think we did an alright job." 

"They just adjusted really well," Rodgers said, complimentary of New England's defense. "We got some things going and then they adjusted. We had some momentum there in the third quarter and the fourth and then obviously the unfortunate fumble and then we just didn’t – I missed a couple opportunities there in the fourth quarter to get the ball to 'Te [Davante Adams], probably would have given us a better chance."

Three plays later, Tom Brady threw his only touchdown pass of the game to Josh Gordon, a 55-yard strike which exposed all kinds of blown coverages in the secondary for the Packers. Green Bay corner Tramon Williams badly whiffed trying to tackle Gordon, who finished with five catches for 130 yards -- his most in a Patriots uniform. He continues to earn his way into Brady's circle of trust, earning crucial targets on third and fourth downs throughout the game.

"We made some plays in the fourth quarter when we needed to, and anytime you beat a good football team, it feels good," Brady said. "So, 7-2, it’s a long ways from 1-2 where we were. We strung together a lot of wins playing good football and we’ve got to keep it going."

None of this is to say that New England's offense gelled throughout the game. An easy opening drive, which also ended in a rushing touchdown for White, didn't fortell the struggles the Patriots would encounter without Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel and Shaq Mason available.

The absence of the skill position players is obviously something that can't be seen as a positive moving forward, but it did one player an opportunity to shine at various points in the game. 

Cordarrelle Patterson is now the featured back for the Patriots, apparently. He had a 5-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter to help give New England a 17-10 lead heading into the break, finishing the game with 61 yards on the ground in all.

"He's a versatile guy," Bill Belichick said of Patterson. "He can play receiver, he can certainly carry the ball, he can return kicks and also play in other areas of the kicking game."

In terms of the Brady vs. Rodgers duel that was highly anticipated, neither quarterback fully delivered gaudy numbers on the stat sheet. Brady finished the night 22 for 35 for 294 yards and a touchdown, while Rodgers was 24 for 43 for 259 yards and two touchdowns. 

White finished the game with six catches for 72 yards, giving him 61 on the season -- a new career high. He's tied for second overall in the NFL in receptions with Eagles tight end Zach Ertz and Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. He's on pace to finish the season with 108 catches, which would establish a new record for NFL running backs. The record is currently held by Matt Forte, who caught 102 passes out of the backfield in 2014 with the Chicago Bears.

The loss dropped the Packers to 3-4-1, 1 1/2 games out of first place in the NFC North.

The Patriots aren't home again until Sunday, Dec. 2, when they host the Minnesota Vikings. They travel to Nashville next weekend to take on the Tennessee Titans at 1 p.m. before their bye week, and return from the bye over Thanksgiving weekend in New Jersey against the New York Jets.

Rihanna and Axl Rose over the weekend joined a growing number of musicians who have denounced President Donald Trump's use of their music at his events. 

Rose, the lead singer of the rock band Guns N' Roses, tweeted Sunday that the band has requested its music not be played at Trump events. 

"Just so ya know... GNR like a lot of artists opposed to the unauthorized use of their music at political events has formally requested r music not b used at Trump rallies or Trump associated events," Rose said. 

He later added, "Unfortunately the Trump campaign is using loopholes in the various venues’ blanket performance licenses which were not intended for such craven political purposes, without the songwriters’ consent."

Meanwhile, Rihanna said Sunday her music would not be played for "much longer" following a tweet by Washington Post journalist Philip Rucker, who said her song "Don't Stop the Music" was played at a Trump rally in Tennessee. 

"It’s been said a million times, but here’s a million and one — Trump’s rallies are unlike anything else in politics," Rucker wrote. "Currently, Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” is blaring in Chattanooga as aides toss free Trump T-shirts into the crowd, like a ball game. Everyone’s loving it."

Rihanna retweeted Rucker, adding, "Not for much longer...me nor my people would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies, so thanks for the heads up philip!" 

Several musicians have decried the use of their music at Trump's rallies, including Steven Tyler of the band Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones and Adele. 

Pharrell Williams most recently expressed opposition to the use of his music at Trump's events, sending a cease and desist letter to the president and threatening to sue him after he played Williams' song "Happy" at a rally.   

A newlywed couple was killed Sunday morning in a helicopter crash just hours after exchanging vows in Uvalde, Texas, about 80 miles west of San Antonio, officials said.

The helicopter carrying Will Byler and Bailee Ackerman Byler crashed in a remote area about 15 miles northwest of Uvalde, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The helicopter's pilot was also killed in the crash, FAA spokeswoman Lynn Lunsford said. 

The circumstances of the crash are unknown, the FAA said.

The couple's wedding portal on the website The Knot noted their nuptials were taking place on Nov. 3 on Will Byler's family ranch in Uvalde.

Will and Baille were both seniors at Sam Houston State University, according to The Houstonian, the school's student-run newspaper.    

Family and friends took to social media over the weekend to share touching tributes to the newlyweds and posted photos and videos showing the happy couple dancing at the reception just hours earlier.

FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

This series examines several battleground races in the fight for control of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the Nov. 6 midterm elections.

Carried by grassroots momentum, Democrats must take 23 seats from Republicans to win the balance of power. They are contending with Republicans' experience and organization, and an outspoken but polarizing president.

NBC Owned Television Stations is taking a look at some of the most closely fought races across the country to see what issues matter most to voters and how the national headwinds are affecting the candidates. Those district profiles can be found below, with more coming as Election Day nears.

Republicans showed out for a final "Get Out the Vote" rally at a concrete company in Wallingford that more closely resembled a rally for President Donald Trump, than for Gubernatorial Nominee Bob Stefanowski.

"They can't run on their record," said Rep. Themis Klarides, (R-Derby), looking to become the first female Republican Speaker of the House. "We can run on ours," she said, before Stefanowski took the stage.

Stefanowki is a political newcomer, a former corporate executive with the likes of General Electric and UBS, as well as a payday loan company. He found himself with the attention of the entire Connecticut Republican establishment in Wallingford.

He warned of what the future may look like before the 400 or so in attendance.

“We’re going to have four more years of higher taxes, big government, out of control spending, tolls on the road, and another four years of misery, we simply cannot afford it," Stefanowski told the crowd. He urged for Republican support up and down the ballot.

Democrat Ned Lamont, who has led in all but one poll in the lead up to the election, struck a more measured tone during a press conference steps from the Connecticut State Capitol Sunday afternoon.

He warned that if Democrats do not hold on to the governor's office, then the politics of Washington and Donald Trump will creep into Connecticut.

“I know how to fix what’s wrong here in Connecticut but not at the expense of protecting what’s right and that’s our values, investing in our future and investing in our kids," he said. Lamont, a former cable television executive who has never held statewide office, said electing Stefanowski would be like electing Donald Trump.

“When it comes women’s rights, and gay rights, and civil rights, and Bob Stefanowski says, ‘it’s settled law.’ Well, there’s no settled law in the age of Trump.”

Petitioning candidate Oz Griebel, who has seen his numbers in the polls diminish slightly, says he expects to not just play the role of spoiler on Tuesday, but be a real factor.

Griebel said during a retail politics visit to Bruegger's Bagels in West Hartford, "Whatever we need to win on Tuesday, I’m convinced we’re going to have that number of votes.”

He urged voters to vote for the best candidate they think can solve the state's problems and to ignore the political rhetoric coming from both major party candidates.

“Grow the proverbial spine, and vote for the best ticket and move Connecticut forward based on what’s best for taxpayers, residents, and employers, not who’s in charge at the State House.”

Lowe's, the home improvement store chain, is closing several stores, including one in Connecticut.

The company announced Monday morning that it is closing 20 underperforming stores in the United States, including the one at 48 Boston Post Road in Orange, and 31 Canadian stores and other locations.

A statement on Lowe’s website says it expects to close the impacted stores by Feb. 1, 2019 and hold store closing sales for most of the impacted locations with the exception of select stores in the U.S., which will close immediately.

“While decisions that impact our associates are never easy, the store closures are a necessary step in our strategic reassessment as we focus on building a stronger business,” Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe’s president and CEO said in a statement. “We believe our people are the foundation of our business and essential to our future growth, and we are making every effort to transition impacted associates to nearby Lowe’s stores.”

Lowe's is also closing one store in Quincy, Massachusetts and two in New York City.

“The closure of the Lowe’s store in Orange, Connecticut is a blow to the local New Haven economy, but it is not surprising,” Fred McKinney, the directors of the People’s United Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Quinnipiac University said in a statement. “Large-box retailers continue to be hard hit by dramatic changes in how consumers are shopping for goods, particularly products that can be bought and sold over the internet.”

Stores in New Haven and Milford will remain open and McKinney said he suspects that senior leadership at Lowe’s “believes that closing one store in Connecticut will not have dramatic impact on overall sales because of the proximity of other stores and an increased push to move sales to the internet.”

He went on to say he anticipates other large chain retailers will continue closing and consolidating.

“One of the lessons that is not lost on large retailers is the lesson of the bankruptcy of Sears. Many analysts believe that Sears waited too long to close stores and move more sales to the internet. This is a lesson that does not want to be repeated by other retailers,” McKinney said in a statement.

Ground control to Starman.

The Tesla Roadster that hitched a ride into orbit on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket in February has journeyed beyond the red planet, the company said Friday in a tweet.

The cherry red convertible and its spacesuit-clad mannequin driver, dubbed Starman after the 1972 Dave Bowie song, have driven beyond Mars. 

SpaceX tweeted a photo of Starman's location along with the caption, "Next stop, the restaurant at the end of the universe," a reference to the second book in the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series written by Douglas Adams.

The car's current trajectory will take it into the asteroid belt in its planned orbit around the sun, according to a diagram tweeted by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk earlier this year. But scientists say it is unlikely the car will encounter anything beyond ultraviolet radiation, cosmic rays, other highly charged particles or an occasional micrometeoroid.

As a result, ongoing exposure to UV light will cause the car's paint to fade over time, just as cars here on Earth do.

Starman and the Tesla have been on a steady course away from Earth since they were included as the payload during a successful test of SpaceX's rocket designed to hoist satellites and equipment into space.

Musk, who owns both SpaceX and Tesla, included the vehicle in the launch as a "silly and fun" way to bring attention to his companies' accomplishments.

Connecticut State Police are trying to identify a man who is accused of inappropriately touching a female at a store in Lisbon on Sunday.

Troopers said the man touched the private area of a female victim inside of the Walmart on River Road in Lisbon around 8 p.m.

He then fled in an unknown direction after exiting the building.

In a photo provided by police, the man can be seen wearing glasses, a dark-colored hoodie and dark-colored pants with white and red shoes.

Anyone with information on the man's identity is asked to contact Troop E at (860) 848-6500. Calls may be made anonymously.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers will not patrol polling locations on Election Day, an ICE spokeswoman said in response to social media rumors of potential voter intimidation from the federal law enforcement agency. 

False claims that ICE is interfering at polling locations have cropped up intermittently over the past two years. In the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, for example, an image spread on Twitter appearing to show an immigration officer arresting someone in line to vote. The image was a hoax. 

Concerns re-emerged last week after a wallet-sized flyer bearing the Department of Homeland Security seal, found on a sidewalk in Milwaukee, claimed that ICE officials would patrol polling stations on Election Day. Nicole Alberico, a spokeswoman for ICE, described the flyers as fake. 

“Rumors that ICE plans to engage in patrols or enforcement operations at polling locations are false,” Alberico wrote in a statement. “Any flyers or advertisements claiming otherwise are incorrect and not sanctioned by ICE.” 

The flyer included a phone number “to report illegal aliens” that redirected to the DHS’ investigations tip line. It also included threatening language, claiming that if voters did not have proper documentation they might “risk immediate detainment.” 

Mary Oglesby posted on Facebook about finding the flyer during a visit to Milwaukee. She immediately became suspicious of the handout and contacted the Milwaukee District Attorney’s Office. “You could tell it wasn’t real because the graphics were really bad,” Oglesby said in an interview with ProPublica. 

The Milwaukee District Attorney’s Office notified local law enforcement and DHS after receiving the tip, according to a Joshua Mathy, a spokesperson for the office. He added that no other flyers have been reported. 

Milwaukee’s election director, Neil Albrecht, said that he was aware of the flyer and that none of his poll workers had reported seeing anything similar at their polling locations.

A Silver Alert has been cancelled for a 75-year-old man who was missing from Wethersfield.

Police said Lonnie Bullock was reported missing on Sunday. He was found on Monday afternoon.

Officers did not release details about where he was found. 

Hamden Police have arrested a teenager from New Haven who was found in a stolen vehicle early Sunday morning.

An officer noticed a vehicle traveling on Beacon Street without headlights on around 4 a.m. The officer pulled the car over on Leeder Hill Road.

Police learned the vehicle was stolen from a home in North Haven earlier in the morning.

Officers arrested the 16-year-old New Haven resident, who was uncooperative. He was transported to police headquarters, police said.

The teenager was charged with larceny, interfering with a police officer, operating without a license, disobeying an officer's signal, improper turn and driving without headlights. He is scheduled to appear in Juvenile Court in New Haven on November 13.

NBC has pulled an immigration ad from President Donald Trump widely derided as racist after it aired on the network's NFL coverage on Sunday night.

A spokesperson for NBC's advertising sales department told NBC News that, "After further review, we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible."

The decision to run the ad, which linked an undocumented immigrant convicted of murdering two California law enforcement officials to migrants traveling toward the United States to seek asylum, drew flak on social media. "Will and Grace" star Debra Messing said she was "ashamed that my network aired this disgusting racist ad."

CNN had declined to air the ad, citing its editorial coverage in calling it racist.

Making a final push for votes, Democrat Ned Lamont and Republican Bob Stefanowski faced off in the final debate of the gubernatorial campaign on 99.1PLR on Monday morning.

“This is not a state that embraces Donald Trump values,” Lamont said. “They do not want to have a governor with an A rating from the NRA. They do not want to have a governor like Bob Stefanowski or Donald Trump even who are talking about rolling back Obamacare, rolling back care for people with pre-existing conditions.”

“People want to vote for change,” said Stefanowski. “They know that Ned Lamont is going to increase your taxes. He just said it in the debate. People want lower taxes. They don’t want any more Dan Malloy. I’m the agent of change, and that’s why the numbers are moving in our favor right now.”

Hosted by morning radio talk show hosts Chaz & AJ, the fast-paced debate lasted about 30 minutes. Both candidates were given a bell to call out falsities from their opponent. The two debated issues such as tolls, pensions and how they would generate revenue for a state in a financial crisis.

“I drove by the Department of Transportation headquarters the other day,” Stefanowski said. “It’s a palace. The problem is we’re putting too much money into overhead. We need to do it to fix our roads and bridges. There’s too many departments. There’s too many agencies. We’re going to take a hatchet.”

“Electronic sports betting,” Lamont said. “I think that’s a business that’s going to be coming around the country, here to the state, I would tax that. Recreational marijuana, why let the black market take it over. I’d regulate it and tax it.”

Unaffiliated candidate, Oz Griebel, who significantly trails his opponents in the polls, did not participate in Monday morning’s debate, however, he was in Middletown campaigning for last minute votes.

“My message to everyone is, don't try to figure out what your neighbor is going to do, don't try to figure out what someone 100 miles away is going to do, vote for the best ticket,” Griebel said. “If everybody who tells us that we have the best ticket votes for us, we'll win with 70 percent of the vote.”

Polls open Tuesday at 6 a.m.
