Truck slams into two utility poles
A serious late afternoon crash Monday landed the driver of a truck in the hospital after it slammed into two utility poles and ejected him from the vehicle.
Vittie Thomas, reportedly in his 70s, was behind the wheel of his maroon Chevy F-10 truck yesterday and travelling east on East Sunrise Highway in the area of Chesapeake when the accident occurred.
Reports say Thomas was first spotted by a motorist pulling up on the scene who telephone for help.
The truck was badly damaged on the left front side, one of the street poles was snapped close to the base and the cab of the truck was upside down on the side of the road.
