Bridgeport Man Killed In Fatal Trumbull Car Crash: Police

BRIDGEPORT, CT — A man killed in a fatal two-car crash Sunday afternoon on White Plains Road in Trumbull has been identified as a Bridgeport resident, according to Trumbull police.

In a news release, Police Lt. Brian Weir said Anthony James Moran, 33, was the passenger in a red Lexus SC 430 convertible that struck a maroon Chrysler 300 S around 3:30 p.m. near the entrance ramp to Route 25 southbound.

According to Weir, a preliminary police investigation determined the Chrysler was traveling south on White Plains Road toward the Route 25 southbound entrance ramp. The Lexus was traveling north on White Plains Road toward the Route 25 entrance.

As the Lexus approached another vehicle that was stopped in the left travel lane waiting to turn left onto the entrance ramp, the Lexus swerved around the stopped vehicle by traveling north in the southbound lane and stuck the Chrysler head-on, Weir said.

The impact caused the Chrysler to spin out before coming to rest facing north in the southbound lane. The Lexus, meanwhile, spun and rolled before coming to rest on its driver's side, causing both occupants to be ejected from the vehicle and fatally injuring Moran, according to Weir.

The driver of the Chrysler was taken to Bridgeport Hospital and the driver of the Lexus was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where they were treated for their injuries, Weir said.

Weir noted no charges have been filed in this case as of Monday afternoon, and the Trumbull and Fairfield police departments' traffic divisions are currently investigating the incident.

White Plains Road was closed between Reservoir Avenue and Brock Street until around 9 p.m. Sunday evening, according to Weir.
