The vehicle spun out in a clockwise rotation before colliding with a wooden power pole on Mountain Vista near Charles Ronald Avenue.

Barroso-Vargas was pronounced dead at the scene. An unidentified male passenger was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center with critical injuries, police said.
