FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) - Officials say a volunteer firefighter in Connecticut has been killed in a car crash.
Twenty-two-year-old Austin Buoni, who volunteered with the Shelton and Trumbull fire departments, was driving a Nissan Altima when he lost control of the vehicle and hit a utility pole on a Fairfield road early Saturday morning.

He was a 2014 graduate of the Valley Fire Chiefs Regional Training School.
Buoni, of Stratford, worked for Panera Bread and attended Housatonic Community College.
