A 20-year-old Chicago man died and his passenger was injured after the vehicle he was driving split in half after crashing head-on into a light pole early Sunday morning on the Far South Side, police said.
The man, identified by the Cook County medical examiner's office as Keith L. Smith of the 12000 block of South Perry Avenue, was travelling southbound at a high rate of speed about 12:25 a.m. on Michigan Avenue, according to Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada.
He lost control of the vehicle when he tried to overtake another vehicle, Estrada said, hit a curb, and struck a light pole head-on in the 11000 block of South Michigan Avenue in the Roseland neighborhood. The car, a 1996 Mitsubishi Galant, split in half, Estrada said.
