Police say a Massachusetts resident whose car crashed into a tree in Connecticut over the weekend has died.
In an article on Wesleyan University's newsletter, the school identified the victim as 20-year-old Daniel "Dani" Jewell-Tyrcha, of Scituate, Massachusetts.
"We offer our condolences to Dani's family, friends and loved ones," Wesleyan President Michael Roth and Vice President for Student Affairs Mike Whaley wrote in a statement.
Police said Jewell-Tyrcha was driving north in Middletown just after 9 p.m. Saturday when the vehicle veered left and struck a tree on the shoulder of the road.
Jewell-Tyrcha was extricated from her vehicle, treated at the scene, and then taken to Hartford Hospital with critical injuries.
Police on Monday announced that Jewell-Tyrcha was pronounced dead at the hospital at about 6 p.m. Sunday. The crash is under investigation.
