Melting ice and snow on the road caused the incident, with the driver sustaining only minor injuries after the harrowing experience.
At 10 a.m. Monday morning, a 74-year-old man was driving on Yellowstone Avenue. When the driver reached the section of the road passing over Sulphur Creek, he lost control of the vehicle and it crashed into a nearby light pole.
The force of the impact with the light pole sent the vehicle and the driver off the road and down the hill towards Sulphur Creek. Thankfully, the vehicle didn’t go all the way into the creek, stopping about halfway down the slope.
