The victim, Xavier Miller, age 22, of Powell Terrace, Bridgeport was the driver and only occupant of an Infiniti that collided with a Subaru Crosstrek, operated by a Trumbull woman, on Monroe Turnpike.
Just after 4:00 PM, the Trumbull Police received several 911 calls to report a serious motor vehicle accident in the area of Monroe Turnpike (Route 111) at the intersection of Technology Drive.

No other injuries were reported.
The Long Hill and Trumbull Center Fire Departments also responded and assisted with extinguishing the fire and securing the scene.
