AVON (AP) -- The names of all four people killed in Friday's fatal accident in Avon have now been made public.

The dump truck driver has been tentatively identified as 41-year-old Abdul Raheem Naafi, also known as Terrance Stokes, who had a Stamford address.

The chief medical examiner's office says 60-year-old Maureen Edlund of Canton and 54-year-old Barbara Bongiovanni of Torrington were killed in the wreck at the bottom of Avon mountain when the dump truck driver lost control and smashed into other vehicles.

Television and newspaper reports identified a third person who died, 42-year-old Paul "Chip" Stotler, of New Hartford, a father of five daughters.

I always thought Lou Alcindor was such a cool name.
Kareem sounds too much like Cream. Oh well.

Let's see now, four people died, fifteen were injured, four critically and many people lost their loved ones and friends and all of you post comments about name changes,Muslims and movies but not one thought about those who have suffered. That's a sad commentary on our society. It seems as though wideawake is the only one who gets it!

Me too, but I was wondering how that poster knew what I was thinking, because he was wrong.

We don't get it because we are talking about something other than what you think we should be? I think maybe you don't get it.

No news here. Most every Tri-axle on CT roads is overloaded by a minimum of 15 tons......

Everyone in the state knows about it but refuses to do anything about it.

Television and newspaper reports identified a third person who died, 42-year-old Paul "Chip" Stotler, of New Hartford, a father of five daughters.

My husband and I were very saddened to learn of Chip's death. We didn't know him well, but his wife is an acquaintance of ours. Tragically, he leaves her behind and five beautiful little girls, along with many family members and friends.

Also, I'm fairly certain that another victim of this horrific accident was a former co-worker of mine from years ago. He has multiple injuries, but is expected to recover fully, from what I understand.

Please pray for all involved in this accident...

Thank you LurkedLongEnough for starting this thread.

Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
