1 Killed In 3-Car Grasso Blvd. Crash Wednesday Night, Cops Investigate

NEW HAVEN, CT —Police are investigating a fatal Wednesday night, three-car crash at the intersection of Ella T. Grasso Boulevard and Washington Avenue, New Haven police spokesperson Capt. Rose Dell said.

The collision involved three older styled, gray-colored Honda Accords, she said. The preliminary
investigation indicates that it was a T-bone style collision, with the third vehicle being struck
after the initial impact, according to Dell.

Five people were taken to the hospital, including Jazy White, 42, of New Haven, one of the operators involved in the crash, who died soon after arriving at the hospital, Dell said.

One other person received "serious albeit non-life-threatening injuries," Dell said, adding all vehicles sustained significant damage as a result of the crash.

The Crash Reconstruction Team responded to the scene and began collecting evidence and putting together witness statements. Investigators will continue the investigation today as they search for video surveillance footage that may have captured what occurred prior to and at the point of
impact.

The investigation will take some time, and anyone who witnessed this crash or who may have
information valuable to the investigators is urged to contact police via phone at 203-946-6304
or through the Department's anonymous tip-line at 866-888-TIPS (8477).
