Police are investigating a single-vehicle crash in north Mesa that killed a man who drove into a wall.
The sports utility vehicle crashed on Lindsay Road near McKellips just after 3 p.m. The SUV then caught fire with the driver trapped inside.
Fire crews extinguished the flames. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are still investigating the cause of the crash. The identity of victim has not been released. He was the only passenger in the vehicle.
I was near the scene and was told by neighbors across the street and they indicated that the body appeared to have been ejected and in the middle of the street and was quickly covered. Also supposedly his parents own the Taco time he was supposedly going to work at. It was also said he was speeding and had a blowout and flipped into a wall and then caught fire.
THIS IS WRONG!! First of all the person never left the car, They pronounced him dead on the scene. He was never sent to the hospital. There was a fire, however it was everyday people who rendered aid to this man and put out out the fire. I know I was with him until the fire department came. My heart goes out to the family, I wish there was more than that could have been done for him.
