The male Sacred Heart University student was the only person in the 2018 black Audi, which had flipped over, and he was taken to St. Vincent’s Medical Center, in critical condition, police said.
The Corolla was going across Park Avenue to Jefferson Street and the Audi was going east on Jefferson Street when it hit a curb, which pushed it into the westbound lane and the vehicles collided, police said during a news conference.
Police said Monday that all of the victims have been released except one male student.
