On Saturday morning, a single car crash on I95 northbound in Stratford resulted in the deaths of the driver and his passenger. State Police said around 10:15am they received 911 reports of the crash on at Exit 32.
Preliminary investigation revealed the vehicle, a gray Mazda CX-9 bearing a New York registration, was traveling northbound in the left lane of three.
