The driver of the pickup truck suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. Immediately following the crash, several other cars collided into the fallen light pole, however, no one else was injured.

An 18 year-old man was recently charged with a DUI that stemmed from an accident on January 1, 2011 that semi-paralyzed himself and another person that had been riding in his car. The accident also caused injuries to three other people.

The accident occurred when the 18 year-old drove his pickup truck into a tree while under the influence of alcohol. Charges against the young man were not initially followed because he had been seriously paralyzed. Since the charges, the young man has been released from jail on the recognition that he has serious medical problems that render a jail ill-equipped for his needs.
