Just before 2:00 am Saturday morning, police were called to the intersection of E. Franklin Street and St. Paul Place for reports of a single-vehicle crash.
Police say the car crashed into a BGE utility pole.
Medical personnel took the driver, a 38-year-old man, and the passenger, a 35-year-old man, to local hospitals.
The 38-year-old man later succumbed to his injuries. The 35-year-old man is currently in critical condition.
