Summary
A 27-year-old woman faces deadly charges after a head-on crash in Danbury that killed off-duty police officer Cooper Whiteside and his passenger, Brittany Islami—a mother of three. Arrested on DUI and two counts of second-degree manslaughter, she’s held on a $500K bond. Hundreds of first responders honored Whiteside, a Bridgeport cop and volunteer firefighter, at a memorial service. The Jeep driver, now in custody, was injured; investigators are still piecing together how the collision occurred. A GoFundMe has been launched to help Islami’s children.
