The crash occurred in New Haven on I-91 southbound around 10 p.m., Wednesday, April 10.
According to the Connecticut State Police, Isabela Jane Osler, age 17, of Branford in New Haven County, was killed after she was ejected from a 1993 Jeep Cherokee she was riding in during the crash with a truck and flatbed trailer.
The driver, a New Haven County 17-year-old boy from Hamden, was seriously injured and transported to Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, state police said.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.
