On Sunday, a driver was killed after his car struck another vehicle on Interstate 95 north in Westport and then turned over.
According to authorities, the accident happened at around 2.30 a.m. when 22 year old Alan J. Alexis, was driving at high speed in a Nissan Xtera in the right lane of three. He swerved to avoid an Infiniti G37X in front of him and hit the back left side of a vehicle driven by 23 year old Dekera E. Lewis of Norwalk. Then Alexis steered to the right, which caused the car to roll over twice and land in the left and center lanes.
Alexis, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the car, and landed in the center lane. He was rushed to Norwalk Hospital to be treated for serious injuries, but died of his injuries.
Lewis and her two 23 year old passengers both from Bridgeport, Lacorrah Dlayne and Ashley Lyons, 23, were uninjured and they were all wearing seat belts.
The accident remains under investigation and no charges have yet been filed.
