Here is the aftermath of the car crash at 1104 Bay St. in Springfield early Saturday morning. The driver was killed.SPRINGFIELD - A 26-year-old city man was killed after he crashed his 2001 Infiniti I-30 into a building at 1104 Bay St. early Saturday morning.
Dennis G. Leger, aide to Springfield Fire Commissioner Joseph A. Conant, said the accident was reported just before 1 a.m. Three other male passengers survived the crash. Police said speed is a factor.
Leger said Joseph Kelly was killed in the crash. Two other passengers were taken to Baystate Medical Center. One passenger walked away from the scene. Firefighters had to extricate the passenger who was sitting behind Kelly, Leger said.
"It was extremely dangerous for the firefighters to remove that person from vehicle because of the instability of the building," Leger said, adding parts of the building were "literally falling down around them" as they worked.
Leger said the driver slid sideways into the building, which housed Anderson Services, a landscape supply company.
Seat belt use was unavailable. Police said Kelly was driving west when he lost control of the vehicle.
