Woman Killed on I-95 After Hitting Car & Truck

A teenager was killed on Interstate-95 in Norwalk after she lost control coming off a ramp and collided with a car and a tractor trailer, police said.

Police have identified the victim as Liset Santos, 19, of Bridgeport.

Santos was entering the southbound lanes of I-95 from Route 7 when she lost control, police said. She collided with another car in the right lane, and spun across three lanes of traffic before hitting the median. A tractor-trailer in the left lane then crashed into the passenger side of Santos's car, pushing it forward a few hundred feet.

Santos was pronounced dead at the scene. No one in the other two cars was injured.

State Police are still investigating, but said roads were wet at the time of the accident.
