A Bridgeport man was killed after his car drove off Route 8 in Shelton Sunday morning, State Police said.

29-year-old Laqman Asad's Honda Civic veered off the southbound side of the highway near exit 12, and crashed into a wooded area around 9:00 a.m.

Asad was the only person in the vehicle.  Any witnesses to the crash are asked to call State Police Troop I at 203-393-4200. 

This is the second fatal crash on Route 8 in Shelton this weekend. 

19-year-old Lawrence Morra of Stratford and 18-year-old Viviana Cavalli of Shelton were killed Friday night, after Morra hit a guard rail while exiting Route 8 northbound at exit 13.  His car then went down an embankment and hit a tree.  A backseat passenger survived the crash.
