Anthony Andriulli sustained numerous broken bones and was treated at Stamford Hospital.

Nixon Henry, 50, of Stamford, who police say was Burl's boyfriend, also died. He was in the passenger seat of his car and was ejected through the windshield.

Stamford police Sgt. Andrew Gallagher said Burl fled the scene on foot and hid out for weeks with friends in Bridgeport and Stamford. She was taken into custody Wednesday.

Police said Burl, 32, was uncooperative and has a lengthy criminal record.

She is charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter, two counts of felony evading responsibility and one count of second-degree assault.
