GPD: speeding contributed to fatal Yigo crash

by Mindy Aguon

Guam - Speed was a factor in the death of 27-year-old Mathew Esiwily, who died yesterday after he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a concrete utility pole on Route 15.  Esiwily was driving his 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage along the Back Road to Andersen Air Force Base when for unknown reasons he lost control and struck the pole. 

Police are still trying to determine if alcohol was a factor in the crash.  An autopsy conducted today confirms Esiwily died from massive internal bleeding.

His death marks the fourth traffic-related fatality this year.
