MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — An Ansonia man died after a rollover collision in Middletown on Tuesday afternoon.
State police said the crash happened just after 3 p.m., near exit 12 on Route 9 southbound.
While going around a curve in the road, a Toyota 4Runner LTD driven by 34-year-old Vance Jenkins struck the concrete barrier in the median.
From there, Jenkins drove across the road through the right lane and onto the right shoulder, where he struck a slight embankment and a DOT light pole. The vehicle rolled over and came to a final rest on its roof, police said.
When police and EMS got to the scene, Jenkins was found unresponsive and pronounced dead.
The highway was closed at the time of the investigation but has since reopened.
The crash remains under investigation. Any person who may have further information is asked to contact Trooper Ryan #1385 at Troop F - Westbrook, 860-399-2100.
