A Cicero man is dead after his pickup went off Brewerton Road late Friday night, and sheared a utility pole.  Downed wires from that pole may have started a roof fire at A&P Auto Parts.

Onondaga Sheriff's Deputies say a passing motorist called them about the crash, about 10:50pm, in the 8500 block of Brewerton Road.  49 year old Donald Nightingale was near his home at 8780 Brewerton Road, when his  F-150 pickup drifted off the road and sheared a utility pole.   Deputies believe a medical condition caused the crash.

Brewerton Road between Route 31 and Mud Mill Road was closed several hours as investigators were at the crash scene, and fire volunteers worked on a roof fire at the nearby A&P Auto Parts, believed started by downed wires.  The road was reopened just before 3am Saturday.
