St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - A 24-year-old man died in a crash in downtown St. Louis that may have been caused by street racing.

Police said witnesses saw the victim driving southbound on North Broadway at a high rate of speed around 11:55 p.m.  He lost control of the vehicle and hit a concreted pillar.

Michael Boone died at the scene.

Investigators at the scene told NewsChannel 5 it could be connected to street racing in the area; however, the department's official report does not include that information.
