Elderly Man Dead In Milford Crash

MILFORD (CBS) -- An elderly man died in a crash on Fortune Boulevard around noon on Thursday.

The car involved in the crash apparently hit a curb then flipped before it burst into flames near 300 Fortune Boulevard. The Milford man driving the car likely died on impact, police say, before fire broke out.

Just before the crash, the man was seen driving erratically.

"A few moments later we get the call of a rollover crash," Milford Police Deputy Jim Heron said. "The car was engulfed in flames. Passersby believed there were people inside."

Investigators are still working to determine what caused the crash. The man who died had just had a doctors appointment before the crash.
