An Old Lyme man died after an early-morning, one-car crash Sunday on Route 2 in East Hartford, state police said.

State police said they don’t know why he lost control of the SUV. Anyone who saw the crash or has information about it -- including dashboard camera footage -- is asked to contact Trooper John Wilson at the Troop H barracks at 860-534-1098 or at john.
