A car smashed into a light pole at a Dublin intersection early Thursday morning, killing the driver and the sole passenger, Dublin police said.
The crash happened around 1:45 a.m. at the intersection of Fallon Road and Antone Way, according to Dublin police Capt. Nate Schmidt.
Preliminary evidence indicates the car, a 2008 Mazda Miata, was speeding south on Fallon Road when it veered off the road and struck the light pole, police said.
When officers arrived the Mazda was engulfed in flames and the two victims were unconscious inside. Lifesaving measures were performed, however, the two were pronounced dead shortly after paramedics arrived.
Police identified the victims as 29-year-old Ethan Sellers of Walnut Creek and 35-year-old Matthew McEnerney of Dublin. Sellers was the driver, police said.
It is very sad when someone has to die because of Irresponsible behavior.
True that — live hard… play fast…die young…be thankful you & your family did not die because of them– cops call it curbstone justice
Curbside…
At least his choice to drive drunk didn’t kill another car full of people.
