STATEN ISLAND (WABC) -- 

 

One young woman is dead and another critically injured after their car struck a pole in Staten Island Sunday night.

The accident occurred around 10:45 p.m. at the intersection of Richmond Avenue and Richmond Hill Road in the New Springville section. Responding officers found a Mitsubishi sedan with damage to driver's side.

Police say the driver was speeding on Richmond Avenue and tried to run a red light when he lost control of the vehicle, swerved and struck a traffic control post in the middle of the intersection.

Stupid, stupid, stupid - young people do staff like that and they lose their lives.  We know the logical part  of the brain is not fully developed until the late twenties to early thirties.  Hopefully other young people learn from this tragedy and avoid these stupid stunts.
