Weather is believed to be a factor in a one car deadly crash in Pacific County Friday afternoon. State patrol said 43-year-old William Villanueva was passing another vehicle on State Route 6 just before 2pm when he lost control, went off the road and hit a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said although the driver was passing in a passing zone, it was hailing at the time of the incident, and he may have been going too fast for the weather conditions. Troopers said Villanueva was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
