Driver trapped following light pole collision
(CNS): Emergency service personnel had to rescue a badly injured driver from his car Friday night after the vehicle collided with a light pole. The single car smash happened just before 10pm in the Spotts area of Shamrock Road near to Soto Lane. A man driving alone in a white KIA pickup crashed into the CUC post as he was traveling eastbound and was trapped inside the truck.
He was taken to the Cayman Islands hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries and is now receiving treatment at Health City in East End.
Police are asking anyone who saw the crash or has any information to call the Traffic Management Unit at 649-6254.

Something is seriously wrong with people who insist on jeering an individual in critical care due to a car crash, regardless. We indeed have some sick people on this island, whether imported or home-bred.
Some of you people shouldn’t be making fun of things like this. You may feel he has himself to blame for driving carelessly or drunk etc. but there are family members that are going through a difficult time with helping him to recover and reading stuff like this is not very nice.
Those light poles just seem to jump out at you at the most inopportune times! It always amazes me that despite the large distance between those poles, the unfortunate victim always seems to be able to take careful aim and hit them squarely….unless there is a solid concrete wall that is more enticing!
Send the fire boat!
We need to do something about these damn lightpoles, always being up in people way! Sign the petition everyone- Vote NO to lightpoles alongside Cayman’s roads!
You joke, but seriously – why don’t we mandate underground utilities? Isn’t this the 21st century?
Bunn dat!The lightpoles protect our homes from these maniacs.
Yet another one, local drivers really must be the worst in the world, how many more light poles are they going to hit?.
I trust your use of the term “local drivers” includes ALL resident drivers. So I presume that you are one of those.
I am talking about drivers in all three islands who specialise in ramming light poles at a far greater rate than anywhere else, even without the hazards of icy winters.
last time I checked Grand Cayman isn’t the only country in the world that people hit light poles scumbag
Name them, and note I don’t share your ignorance.
Veritas Glad to know you don’t want to share the ignorance; that’s ok, keep it for yourself.
