Today’s vehicle fire was hosted by Bridgeport at Wordin and Fairfield Avenue. A thick black column of smoke was visible for miles. Firefighters quickly knocked the fire down. Expect delays in the area, enough to take a different route until they tow the vehicle.

UPDATE: A teen from Rhode Island lost his life in a rollover crash on Route 25 in Trumbull late Friday night.
Connecticut State Police responded to the scene near Exit 9 on Route 25 South around 11 p.m. after receiving reports of an accident.
According to police, a BMW X5 attempted to pass a BMW X1 from behind and shifted to the right, sideswiping the X1. The collision caused the X5 to spin out of control and crash into several trees.
The victim, identified as 18-year-old Timothy Campbell from Cumberland, R.I., was a passenger in the back seat of the X5. He succumbed to his injuries, while three other occupants in the SUV, which had Rhode Island plates, were transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver and passenger of the BMW X1 were uninjured, according to state police.
The road was closed for several hours while investigators worked at the scene, but it has since reopened.

A Fed Ex driver was robbed at knife point in Norwalk, and police are currently looking for the suspect, who fled in a blue Subaru, according to unconfirmed radio reports. There is no information about location at this time.
This morning at approximately 5:00 A.M. the Ansonia Police Department received a 911 call reporting a serious assault in a residence on Westfield Avenue. The first officers on scene found a female and male inside the residence, both suffering from gunshot wounds. The female was shot multiple times in the torso, she was transported to a local hospital for treatment and unfortunately succumbed to her injuries. The male was shot once in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. While we are still involved in an active investigation, all the information to this point indicates the male shot the female multiple times before shooting himself. It appears that the male forced entry into the home and confronted the female before shooting her then himself. There were two other people inside the residence, they were not involved in the incident and were unharmed.
The female has been identified as Miguelina Lebron, age 45, of Ansonia and the male has been identified as Yanis Tavarez, age 47, of Bridgeport. Lebron and Tavarez were divorced and the incident took place at Lebron’s residence.
The Ansonia Police Department would like to thank the Connecticut State Police Central District Major Crimes, Derby Police Department, Seymour Police Department, the Department of Children and Families Milford Office, and Yale Trauma Clinical Services for their assistance during this investigation.
The Ansonia Police Department is currently investigating the suspicious deaths of two people in the 100 block of Westfield Avenue.
