Shortly before midnight on Sunday night Providence fire alarm dispatched Engine 2, Ladder 7, Special Hazards, Rescue 3 & Battalion 3 to in front of the AAA building at 111 Royal Little Drive for a motor vehicle accident with entrapment and a possible auto fire. Firefighters from the Branch Avenue station arrived within minutes amd confirmed a single vehicle head on into a metal power supply pole and one occupant trapped. Special Hazards arrived and began to extricate the aided who was removed and transported to Rhode Island Hospital by Rescue Three and members of Ladder Seven. The driver succumbed to the injuries sustained in the crash and died a short time after arriving at the hospital. The crash appears to be a result of a drag race which occurs frequently during the weekends on Royal Little Drive and also across the city on Ernest Street which was also the scene of another fatal drag race which occurred on May 28, 2006 and killed three people when their vehicle struck a building.
