A man fatally injured when a car he was driving crashed into a utility pole in Woodland Hills was publicly identified Monday.
He was Earl Ammann, 22, of Northridge, coroner’s Lt. Larry Dietz said.
The crash took place about 8:50 p.m. last Monday at the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Royer Avenue, said a desk officer at Valley Traffic Division of Los Angeles police.
It appeared the driver lost control of his vehicle before it hit the pole. Weather was a factor in the crash, the desk officer said.
Firefighters used the jaws of life to pull the Ammann from a red Ford Mustang.
Paramedics took the driver to Northridge Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 40 minutes later, police said.
