ARCADIA — An Arcadia teenager crashed his car and then touched downed power lines after wrecking the car near U.S. 17. As a result he died, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The 17-year-old was driving a sedan east on S.W. Robin Road around 11:17 a.m. Saturday, approaching a right curve east of the intersection of U.S. 17.
The teen failed to navigate the curve and went off the roadway, crashing into a power pole, according to the FHP.
The impact sent the power pole and power lines toppling to the ground.
