Fresno,CA : Man dies after leg is severed in power pole crash on January, Tuesday 9th 2018

A man was killed Tuesday night after he crashed his car into a power pole in southeast Fresno, crushing the vehicle.

California Highway Patrol Sgt. David Salcido said the driver’s leg was severed from his torso. The man was southbound on Chestnut Avenue, just south of Annadale Avenue about 8:20 p.m. when his gray Honda Civic veered into the west edge of the road and struck a power pole, Salcido said.

It’s unknown exactly how fast the driver was going, but “as you can see by the damage to the vehicle, he was traveling at a very high rate of speed,” Salcido said.
