NORRIDGEWOCK – A head-on collision that eventually involved four vehicles claimed the life of a Fairfield man Monday morning.

Peter Brickett, 27, of Fairfield was killed when his car crossed the centerline and collided with a car while he was trying to pass another vehicle, according to investigators.

Brickett’s car collided with one car, then two others, before coming to a stop on Route 139, troopers said.

At least two other people suffered injuries, but only one had to be taken to a hospital, troopers said.
