A Farmington man died Wednesday morning after crashing near a Wilton church.
Ernest Dunham, 64, was driving a maroon Jeep Liberty east on Route 2 about 6:41 a.m. when he crossed the westbound lane onto the lawn of the New Life Pentecostal Church into the woods, where he hit a tree, according to Wilton Police Chief Ethan Kyes.
Dunham died at the scene, Kyes said Wednesday evening.
No one else was injured in the crash.
The crash remains under investigation, but Kyes said that Dunham may have suffered a “medical event” in the moments leading up to it.
No additional information was immediately available.
