A man from Westport has died after a crash on Interstate 95 south early Sunday morning.

After the crash, the vehicle continued to travel south and hit a Connecticut Department of Transportation sign and the joiner to a bridge. Police said the impact with the bridge joiner caused the vehicle to roll over and eject the back seat passenger, later identified as 20-year-old Brian Andersen, of Westport.

Andersen was taken to Norwalk Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The driver and front seat passenger were taken to Norwalk Hospital to be evaluated.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to contact Troop G at (203) 696-2500.
