A New Britain woman has pleaded not guilty to charges connected to a Southington car accident that killed two young men.

Gabriella Correa, 22, of 46 Gladden St., New Britain, has been accused of driving under the influence during a car crash on March 14, 2020. The accident took the lives of Kii Glover, 21, and Kaivon Glover, 22.

According to judicial records, Correa appeared in New Britain Superior Court this week and pleaded not guilty to two counts of manslaughter with a motor vehicle and one count each of reckless driving, reckless endangerment, traveling too fast, failure to drive in proper lane, driving under the influence and possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana.

The 22-year-old is free on $250,000 bond and due back in court on Sept. 28.

According to police, around 8:44 p.m., Correa, driving a Honda CR-V northeast on Andrews Street, toward New Britain, appeared to lose control around a curve, crossed the center lines and struck several large rocks and a guardrail on the side of the road. The crash happened along the reservoir in between Long Bottom and Caretaker roads.

Police said there were four people in the vehicle.

Kii Glover and Kaivon Glover, who were backseat passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Correa and the front seat passenger, Mollina Colon, 22, suffered injuries that police said were not life-threatening.
