According to the police press release, Wilson, 24, was northbound in the left lane on I-95 just south of Exit 36 when the Chrysler 300 he was driving was struck head-on by an Audi driven by Shivam Patel of West Haven traveling the wrong direction. The crash occurred at 2:17 a.m. and is under investigation by state police at Troop G.

Both drivers suffered serious injuries and had to be extricated from their vehicles, according to news reports. Both were transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital. Wilson's condition was not available Monday.
