The road was temporarily blocked for about one hour in which the electric had been cut off to fix the power pole.

Friends of Mr. Manassacha told police he was coming back from a golf course. When he arrived at a curve driving at allegedly high speed, he lost control of his pickup trick.

The accident is still under investigation.
