Investigators say the Kia made a sudden, sharp left turn into the northbound lane of Philippe Parkway and was struck on the passenger side by a 2001 Toyota Avalon, driven by 19-year-old Brendan Burke, who was traveling northbound on Philippe Parkway. 

The impact forced both vehicles off the road, where the Kia struck a utility pole. 

The 62-year-old male sustained life threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital, were he was pronounced deceased. Next of Kin has not been notified.

Burke sustained non-life threatening injuries and was also transported to a local hospital.

Speed and impairment do not appear to be a factors in the crash.

The investigation continues.
