The pole jumped in front of my car, I swear!


Hmmmm? 3:30 a.m. accident with a utility pole and the driver flees?

Anyone want to bet the driver was drunk?

Never mind there should be no takers of that sucker bet.

The driver of a car that crashed into a utility pole early Sunday morning on the Northwest Side knocked out power to nearby businesses and caused more than $15,000 in damages before fleeing the scene, police said.

The collision took place around 3:30 a.m., when a speeding driver lost control of a blue Lincoln sedan on Timberhill Drive near Leon Valley, according to authorities. He crashed into a pole near the intersection of Timberhill and Grissom Road, police said.

The impact caused a transformer to leak fluid onto Timberhill, which was closed for several hours while crews cleaned the liquid, police said.
