A teenager's car smashed into a pole in the late evening of May 3, and police have not released the name of the victim, identifying him only as a 17-year-old male.

According to the police report from the accident, the teen lost control of his SUV before crashing into a street pole and died shortly thereafter because of injuries sustained in the accident. Police have not released any details about what contributed to the accident.
