Norma Lagacy heard a loud noise.
It “shook the whole place,” she recalled Friday morning.
The noise Lagacy heard was an SUV hitting a support pillar for the Murphy Road overpass on Guthrie Drive East around 12:30 a. m., according to Sarnia police. The only person inside the vehicle, a man, was taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead.
“The deceased is a 28-year-old male. Police will not be releasing his name,” police said.

Lagacy, who lives on Guthrie Drive just east of the overpass, was one of the first people at the scene after hearing the crash. She mentioned that there was no movement inside the vehicle.
“We kept yelling and there’s no movement,” she said.
Amid all the airbags, all they could see was a bit of what looked like a plaid shirt, she added.
