Fatal Crash in New Canaan: Driver Survives

0:00It's April 2, I'm Cory with the story. This is Hartford News today, driven by AI. A tragic crash claimed one life in New Canaan Tuesday night on Roof 15 North near exit 13. It happened just after 10-10 pm, when a single car veered off the road and slammed into a tree, bursting into flames. Stay police say the 2011 Honda Accord was the only vehicle involved, and fire quickly took over after impact. No other cars were part of the wreck. The female passenger was found inside and pronounced dead, right there by medics. Her name is being held back until family gets word. The driver, a 64-year-old man from Bridgeport, got banged up, but nothing life threatening, and headed to Norwalk Hospital by ambulance. Now the collision analysis squad is digging deeper into what caused the driver to lose control. They're piecing together the scene step by step. People are calling on any witnesses to reach out to Trooper Nicholas Falstow at Area Code 203, 696-2500, or his.
