Speed and alcohol are being blamed for the crash that killed two Omaha men Saturday night.

Police say a pickup was northbound on 84th Street when the driver lost control between J and I streets, striking a telephone pole around 11:30 p.m. When rescue crews arrived at the scene they found the truck wrapped around the pole.

The driver, Herman Sosa, was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger, 21-year-old Jorge Rodriguez-Cruz, was taken to Creighton University Medical Center where he later died of his injuries.
