Police are trying to figure out what happened to a 19-year-old Ansonia resident who apparently suffered a medical emergency while driving on Route 34 in Derby, crashed his car and died Friday night, authorities said.
According to police, the teen, who has not been publicly identified, crashed on Route 34 eastbound near Mount Saint Peters Cemetery in Derby around 5:45 p.m. Friday.
The car suffered only minor damage and first responders could find no signs of trauma to the teen's body. He appears to have suffered a medical event of some sort prior to the collision, but police said the specifics of what happened are still to be determined.
Route 34 eastbound was closed for about two hours while authorities responded to the scene and investigated the crash.
The office of the chief medical examiner is conducting an autopsy.
