His sudden passing on Monday afternoon has left family, friends, and loved ones devastated as they struggle to process the loss of a young man whose life ended unexpectedly on a busy highway.
According to the Connecticut State Police, the crash happened around 1:45 p.m. just south of Exit 60 in the left lane of the two-lane section of I-95 southbound. Investigators say a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Limited was traveling ahead in the left lane when it was struck from behind by a 2024 BMW driven by Baez.

The force of the impact caused major damage to the BMW and triggered an immediate emergency response. Madison EMS arrived quickly at the scene and provided urgent medical care before transporting Baez to Yale New Haven Hospital. Despite life-saving efforts by medical staff, he was later pronounced dead due to the severity of his injuries. Officials confirmed that the driver of the Subaru was not injured in the crash.
Authorities have stated that the circumstances surrounding the collision are still under active investigation. Investigators are working to determine what led to the high-speed impact and whether any additional factors may have contributed to the crash. At this stage, no further details have been released as police continue to gather evidence and reconstruct the events leading up to the fatal incident.
