In a tragic incident early Sunday morning on Interstate 95 in West Haven, state police have confirmed the deaths of four individuals in a devastating wrong-way collision, as reported by the New Haven Register. A New Haven man, identified as Kyle Thomas Bulkley, 26, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado against the traffic flow when his vehicle collided head-on with a Nissan Altima, killing all its three occupants including its driver, Husein Alili, 25, of Wolcott along with passengers Jolie Cierra Lubin, 23, of Trumbull, and Samantha Pearl Birchard, 22, of Norwalk.
The crash reported around 1:25 a.m, near Exit 42 on the southbound lanes, saw Bulkley's pickup truck then striking a Nissan Sentra head-on after the initial collision—at this aftermath, the driver and passenger sustained serious injuries they were identified as residents of Dix Hills, N.Y, and were immediately taken to Yale New Haven Hospital the WWLP noted.
The victims of the crash in the Sentra were a 42-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman, both of whom are now being treated for grave injuries resulting from the harrowing incident. Bulkley himself was killed in the collision, the force of the impact substantiating the severity of the head-on crash. As authorities continue to investigate the circumstances that led up to this fatal event, the community grapples with the sudden loss of life and the ripple of grief that spread far beyond the twisted metal and shattered glass of the accident site.
