NEW HAVEN — Police found illegal drugs in the car where a man died following a crash Thursday morning.

Emergency crews were called to Townsend and Forbes Avenues at 10:37 a.m. Police said their initial investigation showed another vehicle struck the car where the man died. Police are determining if speed or failure to stop at the light was a factor.

Police said the man, who has not yet been identified, died after suffering cardiac arrest. An amount of illegal narcotics were found in the victim’s vehicle, police said.

Two others involved in the crash were injured.

Investigators are looking into witness reports that the operator of the second car had been speeding and drove through a red light prior to the crash. Neither factor have been confirmed by police.
