Did the man survive
ReplyDeleteI was at the carwash directly across the street from that pole. Heard the crash turned around. The car, a Honda accord overturned at least once then ended up back on all four tires. The bottom two feet of the pole still under the car. He was doing at least 50 mph. Either the driver suffered a medical emergency or it was a heroin overdose everyone at the scene seems to think the ladder.. The driver could not be extricated from the vehicle until Duke Energy cut the power to the line which was laying across the cable line which was laying on top of the car. The driver did not survive the accident. It would be speculation but it doesn't look like the accident was the cause of his fatality. The airbag deployed and there was no apparent injuries to his body.
ReplyDeletethere was a reported overdose in the Saint Theresa parking lot just a block away, about 35 minutes later. On the same street. Seems to be more than coincidence that these two incidents are connected.
