Milford Man Killed in Motorcycle Crash

West Haven Police say Ronald Vece, 24, was following his girlfriend at the time of the crash.

A 24-year-old Milford man was killed Saturday night when the motorcycle he was driving crashed in West Haven.

The man, who police identified as Ronald Vece, was following his girlfriend at the time of the accident, according to an article published by the Connecticut Post.

The couple — him on his motorcycle and she in her car — reportedly crossed the double-yellow line to pass another vehicle, but Vece lost control and struck the rear of her vehicle, the Post article states. He was pronounced dead after being transported to the hospital.

West Haven Police were not immediately available to comment on their investigation.

Vece was a 2006 graduate of Amity Regional High School in Woodbridge. He played varsity football with the Spartans and racked up some pretty impressive stats in his senior year as a wide receiver and linebacker, while sporting the No. 20, according to MaxPreps.
