Out of the Woods After Fatal Crash

UPDATE A van involved in an early morning crash on I-95 in Westport was hauled out of the woods and up an embankment just before mid-day today. State police said a rear passenger not wearing a seat belt was killed when he was ejected from the van—later identified as Muhamad Bahaga, 32, of the Bronx, NY,—and three others were injured in the 5:15 a.m. accident. Three persons involved in a second accident with a tractor-trailer fled the scene. They were found and arrested on Westport streets off of Greens Farms Road a short time later. State police reopened the northbound lanes at 12:20 p.m. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Gordon Joseloff for WestportNow.com
