Teen driver arrested on manslaughter, DUI charges in I-91 crash that killed high school senior
A Hamden teen faces DUI and manslaughter charges in connection with a crash on Interstate 91 in New Haven last April when a 17-year-old passenger in the SUV he was driving was ejected from the vehicle as it rolled over following a collision with a flatbed truck. The teen driver, who has not been identified because of his age, turned himself in last Thursday in connection with a warrant charging him in a crash on April 10, 2024, that led to the death of high school senior Isabela Jane Osler of Branford, according to Connecticut State Police. The driver was 17 years old at the time of the crash and was allegedly found to have marijuana in his system, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. He has since turned 18 and has been charged as a juvenile, state police said. He faces charges of second-degree manslaughter, operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, operating a motor vehicle without a license, failure to wear a safety seat belt, reckless driving and failure to drive in the proper lane. According to the warrant affidavit, the crash was reported just after 10 p.m. on I-91 South in the area of Exit 7 near an active construction zone. The Hamden teen, driving a 1993 Jeep Cherokee with Osler as a passenger, was in the right lane just north of Exit 7 when he approached a state Department of Transportation milling project that had the right lane tapered into the right center lane with construction cones. State police said they believe the teen 'encroached into the right center lane' and collided with a flatbed trailer, sending the Jeep into a spin before it rolled over. The driver of the flatbed, a 24-year-old New York man, did not report any injuries. He told police that as he was approaching the construction zone he was in the right center lane on the four-lane highway and could see a white Cherokee behind him, the warrant affidavit said. The man alleged that the Cherokee driver was going fast and was passing the trailer portion of his truck using the right lane, which was closed for construction, before he suddenly swerved to the left and collided with the trailer, according to the warrant affidavit. The flatbed driver said he could see the Cherokee roll over before he stopped and checked on the occupants. The Cherokee had ended up on its roof. The man said he found that several bystanders were administering CPR to Osler. Osler was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead at 10:51 p.m., the warrant affidavit said. An autopsy found that she died of a blunt impact injury to her torso, state police wrote. Her death was ruled an accident. The driver of the Cherokee was seriously injured and was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital. One witness to the crash alleged that the Cherokee driver was going between 70 and 75 mph prior to the collision, the warrant affidavit said. Another guessed that the vehicle was going at least 80 mph when the driver hit multiple traffic cones in the right lane and lost control of the SUV, according to the warrant affidavit. Friends of the teens in the Cherokee reportedly said they had stopped at a liquor store prior to the crash but said the driver had not been drinking, the warrant affidavit said. Two of them alleged that the driver was high and had smoked marijuana about two hours beforehand, state police wrote. The friends, traveling in a black BMW, followed the teens in the Cherokee and witnessed the crash, the warrant affidavit said. One of them said they were going about 65 mph and alleged that the Cherokee was going over 85 mph, state police wrote. State police investigators obtained a search warrant for the blood that was drawn from the teenage driver when he was treated at the hospital. The results reportedly showed that he had THC in his system, the warrant affidavit said. An analysis of the crash conducted by the state police's Collision, Analysis and Reconstruction Squad reportedly found that the Cherokee was being driven at 'a minimum' of 49 mph during the crash, according to the warrant affidavit. The flatbed trailer, which was equipped with a GPS device, was reportedly found to be going 46 mph. The analysis found that as the Cherokee moved from the right center lane to the right lane it went about two feet into the shoulder before it was steered to the left, as the teen was 'overcorrecting,' the warrant affidavit said. The teen then lost control and the Cherokee began fishtailing on the highway. The vehicle collided twice with the flatbed and rolled over multiple times. Osler, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the Jeep, the warrant affidavit said. State police noted that the driver was not old enough to consume marijuana and did not have a driver's license, according to the warrant affidavit. The teen has been released on a promise to appear and is scheduled to appear at New Haven Juvenile Court on Thursday. According to an obituary, Osler was a 'vibrant and spirited young woman' who was a senior at Branford High School, where she 'excelled academically and was admired by her peers and teachers alike for her kindness, intelligence, creativity and cleverness beyond measure.' She had a passion for art, child care and writing and was 'always mixing it up, dying her hair and being her most authentic self,' the obituary said. 'As an assistant teacher at the Duck Pond Learning Center, Bela treasured the staff and children she worked with,' the obituary said. 'Above all, Bela was known for her infectious laughter, compassionate heart and funky charisma. She touched many lives with her warmth and empathy, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to those in need. Her presence and smile brightened every room she entered.'
