NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH)– A 24-year-old Hamden man was killed in a car crash in New Haven on Saturday night.
Police say that at around 11 p.m., Tamango L. Housley was driving a black Honda Accord southbound on the Interstate 91 exit ramp, when he approached the intersection of North Frontage Road and Church Street. As he began traveling westbound, he then drove through the Church Street intersection in the middle lane and parallel to an unidentified vehicle to his left.
