According to police, a pickup truck crashed into a car before jumping the curb and hitting two transformers, which caused the power outage just before 9:30 p.m.

The driver of the pickup truck was pronounced dead at Lahey Hospital, police said. One passenger in the pickup truck was also brought to Lahey Hospital and another was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital.

The driver was the only person in the other car and is expected to be OK, according to police.

"All of a sudden the power went out. We live in the building here, we came down and it was a scene out of a movie. There was debris all over the place," said Glen Green. "It's a sad scene and tonight was the worst we've ever seen."

Neighbors say speed is a major concern in the area.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
