A driver was killed after crashing into a pole late Wednesday in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the South Side.

At 11:16 p.m., the 40-year-old man lost control of his Chevy Utility as he drove west on 43rd Street near the South Drexel intersection, according to Chicago police.

The Chevy veered off-road and struck a light pole, police said. The 40-year-old was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t confirmed the death.
