The crash took place around 3 a.m., Thursday, April 4, on the Route 72 ramp to I-84 east in Plainville after the driver drove through the guardrail, struck a bridge abutment and the vehicle caught fire, Connecticut State police said.

CTDOT officials reported they did not find any structural damage to the bridge hit during the crash. 

The car sustained such heavy fire damage, that investigators were having a hard time determining the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the identity of the driver.

An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.

Troopers are asking for anyone who witnessed the crash to Contact Troop H at 860-534-1000.
