Hans Schafer killed, Gilles Pipernos, Benjamin Pipernos, injured in two car crash on Route 218.

A West Hartford man died in a weekend two-car crash, police said Monday.

The crash happened on Route 218, south of its intersection with Maple Avenue, about 6 a.m. Sunday, police said. Hans Schafer, 79, was found slumped over in the front seat of a Honda Accord, which was in the wrong lane, they said. No one else was in the car, which had heavy front end and passenger side damage, police said.

It appears Schafer had been driving south when the Honda went over the center line and into the lane for northbound traffic, police said.

The car then collided with a Ford Explorer carrying Gilles Pipernos, 55, and Benjamin Pipernos, 18, both of whom also are from West Hartford.
