A UConn student from Redding has died from injuries sustained in a crash on Saturday morning in Coventry.  Police say 21-year-old Cole Montefusco was ejected from his vehicle around 4am on Route 44.  No other cars were involved.  Police said he suffered from serious injuries and succumbed to those injures at Hartford Hospital.

The road was closed for several hours as officers investigated the crash. 

Region 9 Superintendent Tom McMorran says the faculty and staff are grieving the death of the 2016 Joel Barlow High School graduate.  McMorran says they will work support everyone impacted by the tragic accident. 

Montefusco's mother is a speech therapist at Redding Elementary School. 

The University of Connecticut in a statement Monday said Montefusco was a senior studying finance. He had earned a Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst internship and membership in the Delta Sigma Pi professional business fraternity.

“Cole exemplified the UConn spirit in his academic perseverance, community involvement and pursuit of his goals,” the school said in the statement.
