Driver Leaves Car After Crashing Into Fair Oaks Telephone Pole
FAIR OAKS (CBS13) - Lanes were blocked in Fair Oaks after a car slammed into a pole, knocking phone lines into the road.
The accident occurred in the area of Fair Oaks Boulevard and Winding Way around 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
California Highway Patrol officers say a BMW crashed into the pole and knocked down about 500 feet of lines.
"The car is completely damaged. It hit the pole square on. There's major front end damage, the air bag is deployed. So the driver was lucky to escape with minor injuries, if any at all," said CHP Officer Jake Steel.
The driver reportedly parked his car and then walked away from the scene. Officials are searching for the driver.
