The collision occurred in Bridgeport around 10 p.m., Sunday, March 10 at the intersection of Seaview and Stratford avenues.

According to Bridgeport Police Sgt. Darryl Wilson., responding officers found a black 2017 Ford Focus with an unresponsive driver and three passengers who were removed from the vehicle and transported to the Bridgeport Hospital Medical Center. 

In the second vehicle, a blue 2008 Audi A4, an unresponsive woman was transported to the same hospital, Wilson said.

A preliminary investigation confirmed the Focus, driven by a 23-year-old woman, was traveling south on Seaview Avenue and approached the intersection of Seaview Avenue and Connecticut Avenue.

The 23-year-old driver of the Ford suffered serious injuries and died around 10:30 p.m., he added.

The name of the victim has not yet been released. 

The passengers, a 39-year-old woman, is listed in stable condition, an 18-year-old woman, and a 13-year-old suffered minor injuries, Wilson said.

The Audi driver is listed in stable condition.
