One person was killed and two people were injured in crash just before midnight on Monday in the area of 389 Meadow Street in Waterbury.
Police said a 1992 Ford Explorer was traveling south on Meadow Street when it lost control, hit a utility pole and rolled over several times.
A male passenger in the back seat was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and the front seat passenger were transported to St. Mary’s Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The names of the victims have not been released because police are notifying the families.
