MOUNTAIN VIEW, Hawaii – At least two people are dead after a vehicle crashed into a utility pole in Mountain View on Wednesday.

It happened just before 4 p.m. on North Glenwood Road, about a quarter mile from Highway 11.

UPDATE – 8:45 a.m. (Thursday) – Police report the 1999 Honda CRV multi-purpose vehicle, driven by Patrick W. Agcalon of Mountain View, was traveling east on North Glenwood Road when it ran off the roadway and struck a utility pole and a tree.

Both Agcalon and his male passenger, who police have not yet identified pending notification of the next of kin, died on scene. Police say the passenger was wearing his seatbelt, but Agcalon was not. Police believe that speed and alcohol were both factors in this crash.
