Hundreds of friends and family gathered at the Cheshire High School football field Saturday night for a vigil to remember and say goodbye to Isabella Gozzo, who died early Saturday morning at the age of 19 after a one-car crash in Berlin.
Gozzo was a passenger in a car driven by her boyfriend, Anthony Longo, 22, who police said lost control of the car on Route 9 South near Exit 21. The car struck a light pole and later a wall and rolled over several times, according to WTNH.com.
According to multiple reports, Gozzo wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car. She was transported to Hartford hospital by ambulance where she was pronounced dead, according to the Meriden Record-Journal.
