Investigators say the driver somehow lost control of his black Chrysler 200 and smashed into the pillar.

The driver died at the scene despite attempts at resuscitation.

Police are investigating whether speed or alcohol were factors in the crash.

Anyone who saw the vehicle before the crash or has dash cam video is asked to contact Vancouver police at 604-717-3012.
