City resident killed in crash

WESTBROOK — Nine days after turning 35, a New Haven resident was killed in a crash in Westbrook.

Shannon Marcus CareyWilson, 35, of Norton Street, died Saturday after colliding with a state Department of Transportation truck at a work zone. Carey-Wilson was driving a 2008 Dodge Avenger, a Connecticut State Police report said.

A spokesman for the Department of Transportation said a crew was doing tree work on Interstate 95 southbound between Exits 65 and 64 in Westbrook when a car hit a bucket truck being used in a work zone. State police said the collision happened around 7:20 a.m.

It’s unknown how the driver entered the work zone, the spokesman said.

“This incident still is under investigation,” the state police said.

The accident report provided by state police indicated Carey-Wilson’s seat belt was on at the time of the crash. The crash caused the car’s airbags to deploy, the report said.

The report indicated the car Carey-Wilson was driving suffered front-end damage and the DOT truck suffered rear-end damage.
