Stamford Resident Killed In Car Crash: Police

STAMFORD, CT — A 39-year-old Stamford resident was killed in a car crash early Monday morning after they lost control of their pickup truck, according to police. The identification of the driver is being withheld pending notification of family members.

The accident happened around 12:30 a.m. when a 2005 Ford F-150 pickup truck was traveling northbound on Washington Boulevard just north of the intersection with Bridge Street, Sgt. Jeffrey Booth said in a news release. At some point, the truck mounted the raised median divider, causing the driver to lose control.

The truck spun across the northbound lanes of Washington Boulevard where it struck the curb and rolled over onto the driver's side, causing the driver to be partially ejected and pinned under the truck, Booth said.

Booth noted that first responding officers, along with two civilians, were able to move the truck enough to free the driver, but the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. No other passengers were in the truck.

The Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad is investigating the crash. Anyone who may have witnessed or has more information on the accident is asked to contact the Stamford Police Department at 203-977-4712.
