FAYETTEVILLE—
New this morning... One man is dead after a late night accident in a Fayetteville neighborhood. A neighbor tells 5 News he heard a loud explosion and power blacked out in the area near Stephens Avenue and Mount Comfort Road. When police arrived they found a silver PT Cruiser flipped over in a nearby yard. Authorities believe the driver may have been speeding, and lost control on the slick road before hitting a power pole. The name of the driver has not been released. Authorities say blood tests will be done to determine if alcohol was a factor. Police have Mount Comfort Road blocked off from Addington Avenue to Lewis, until electric crews can repair the broken pole.
