AURORA | An unidentified man was killed Friday night when his car crashed into first a light pole and then a tree in southwest Aurora.
Witnesses told police they saw the driver of a Chevrolet Camaro speed past them about 11 p.m. Friday in the 11500 block of East Yale Avenue, between Parker Road and South Peoria Street, police said.
“The vehicle left the right side of the roadway, hit a light pole and then a tree,” Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement. “The adult male driver, and sole occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Other drivers on the road said the driver of the Camaro was driving at “a very high rate of speed.”
The identity of the driver will be released later by coroner officials.
