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.
DUI? Seatbelts not fastened?
Glad thathe driver did not hit a pedestrian.
Someone being that stupid behind the wheel doesn’t deserve to live. Another Darwin award winner. Don’t worry, there are plenty more stupid people to fill the vacancy here in Aurora.
Most drivers are wonderful, but none of us is perfect.
Only a small number are incompetent and should not be driving.
Some people who drink may not realize thathey have become drunk and they drive while drunk.
The reasons above is why we have seat-belts and air bags.
Darwinners are also those who do not wear seat-belts.
Fromy emergencyehicle I see many not wearing seat-belts and many who do not have children properly protected. Most are minorities. (Myvife is a minority but always wears seat-belts.)
