1Opinion of the CourtCovello, J.
This is a negligence action seeking damages for injuries and death sustained as the result of an automobile accident allegedly caused by a defective, i.e., icy, highway. The dispositive issue is whether the plaintiff complied with the notice provisions of General Statutes § 13a-144.1 We conclude that the plaintiff failed to provide timely and sufficient notice to the commissioner of transportation of her claim and thus was barred from bringing this action. We therefore affirm the trial court’s judgment for the named defendant that was rendered on different grounds.2
