Michael Deangelo, 19, of 71 Massachusetts Avenue in East Haven, died after an early morning one-vehicle accident on Interstate 95 in Old Lyme near Exit 70, State Police said.
State Police said at 12:57 a.m., Troop F officers responded to Interstate 95 northbound near Exit 70 off-ramp for the one-car motor vehicle accident.
Deangelo, who was driving a 2003 Lexus, was traveling northbound in the right lane and for an “unknown reason” veered off the roadway to the right, and spun off into the right shoulder. His vehicle then hit a wooden sound barrier wall, State Police said in a news release Wednesday morning.
He was found in the driver’s seat and pronounced dead at the scene.
